I gotta say that this reminds me of a high-end audio equipment store near a place I used to live. You know the kind of thing: valve amps with the valves conspicuously displayed, glass-bed turntables, all that blah-blah.
Well, on one occasion (since I went by there occasionally for other purposes) I looked in their window, and there was a pair of speaker stands priced at £1500 each. For those wishing to speculate about the effects of inflation, this would have been in the year 2000.
Um.
Not £1500 for the pair, but £1500 per stand.
Did the stand have speakers on it?

Even though you could and can still do all of these tasks with almost any computer given adequate hardware and software. It's all marketing on their part.
I don't know if it's still the case, but back in the mid 2000s and earlier, the Adobe suite worked much better on Mac than the PC version.
NVIDIA and QUALCOMM didn't exist?

No. It was just a stand.
