If you want gaming on the mac, it is better to just buy a steam deck. It doesn't run windows but valve has done a lot of work to make games run under Linux. And with a dock you can use a keyboard and mouse and monitor. Sad with all the money apple has they can't get windows games running under mac (with wine, "wine is not an emulator"). I understand with "emulation" devs won't have a reason make native mac games. But it is better than nothing. That's the problem with apple, if they can't make something 100% perfect they won't even try.

There's already a ton of discussions in these two threads regarding the steam deck and the viability of gaming on a Mac.
Steam Deck: The First Hands-On With Valve’s Handheld Gaming PC
In 3 years, 50% of all computers capable of playing AAA games will be Macs
You're better off going into the Mac and PC Games forum for such topics as you'll get a larger audience who want to talk about gaming. This forum while it has some discussions on gaming is more general purpose in using PCs and not Macs. Where as it appears your topic is more gaming and steam deck focused
If that were really true, then Apple would have released nothing because it has fallen far short of 100% many, many times, both on hardware and software.
They didn't release a calculator for iPad cause they couldn't make it perfectly use all the screen space so they could trash android tablets as using "blown up" phone apps. They also have all these neural engines with Zero apps to take advantage of them
Really, there have been many issues with MacOS, Macs, and other devices in just the last 5-10 years, and that is the best you can come up with. Sigh.
