So for example a front end web developer isn't going to see much difference between an M1 Pro/Max and a regular M2. Most of their workload is dependent on single-threaded performance, which the M2 is better at. The exception here is if they're routinely running a bunch of VMs simultaneously for e.g. compatibility testing.
Backend devs might be better off with an M1 Pro/Max depending on the language they primarily work in… some languages and associated toolchains are much better at utilizing multiple cores than others. They're likely to need a lot of RAM though because e.g. running a lot of Docker containers (which are VMs under the hood) is memory intensive.
The group that most unambiguously benefits from an M1 Pro/Max are developers working on native desktop or mobile apps… these devs are mostly writing languages like C, C++, Rust, and Swift which all have well-multithreaded toolchains which will see dramatic speedups in even incremental compiles with more cores in the mix.

I get you guys like Apple for whatever reason, but do you hear yourselves?
And a bunch of drives and wires plugged haphazardly into external ports is what? Beautiful?
That's what I don't understand. Why go through all this trouble to make an aesthetic box... that is going to require you to immediately destroy the aesthetics in order to get any work done?
My 15" LAPTOP has multiple drive slots.
Apple and gaming do not belong in the same sentence
But it has a 10 Gb port so with a NAS this is great. Why pay $$$$$ for tons of extra apple priced storage
