If you go to the official Apple store, the one with 512GB storage is $100 more

In addition to being more locked down, you'd also have to figure out/purchase peripherals like the keyboard and mouse yourself, right?

Preferably just our brains, but if not that, then perhaps somebody running an open model. DuckDuckGo and Proton both have "their own" options, and people with good enough hardware can run something locally too.

Apple heard you and released it for $599-699!

It's a good marketing tactic. Apple is covertly implying that colorful hardware means "cheap," while their standard muted tones mean "premium"
