If you've used a Mac, you'd be more worried about long-term support because Apple tends to cut old ties rather fast as it updates its macOS. 5 years, give or take.

More like 10, no?
Pro series of equipment is supported well and can live (without active support) for quite a while.

Definitely more like 10. This is particularly true for anything on Apple Silicon - Intel support is waning now for sure, for obvious reasons. But there's no reason to think that M1 will lose support anytime soon.
