These kind of purchases don't make sense to me unless money is burning a hole in your pocket.

tldr; still have great graphics and none of the hassle of a tower
And it is specifically because, after dealing with unplugging and lugging my big, heavy ass tower to the garage to dust it out for the Xth time, I swore I was done with big as gaming towers.
I spent $2,000 and don't regret it since. Still can play modern games at high or sometimes Ultra graphics (1070 is just legendary). Played Half Life Alyx at high graphics.
Could games look eVeN mOAr beTTeR? Sure but what do I play? Just tried Marvel Rivals and on the setting above high, it looks amazing. Streets of Rogue and Vampire Survivors's pixels look as pixely as ever. Stardew Valley looks the same on my phone as it does my laptop.
Since then, I've taken my laptop to countless friends' houses and gaming parties and while everyone is struggling setting up their PCs and fumbling over wires and stuff, I just pull mine out of my bag and open and I'm ready.
The point is, it was worth it to me to have a small form factor, no external components (like monitor, even though I have my TV hooked up if I really want to), that could still perform.
If I put the money down and put a laptop and a bunch of tower parts side by side of course I could make a PC that would blow the laptop away, but it'd be too much of a hassle in every other department.
I think if I was like my friend who just plays MS Flight Simulator with his flight joystick setup, then yeah I'd go for the top top hardware. Or if I just simply played nothing but the most high fidelity games always (Baulder's Gate, Witcher, Cyberpunk, CoD) and nothing else, then I'd build a gaming tower centered around as small and portable as it could be. This guy has an awesome channel making small towers. https://www.youtube.com/@devyn.johnston
Lastly, when it comes to the concept of price vs performance, you just kind of have to realize those two aren't the only elements and what you're paying for is also convenience.
To some it may seem like a waste of money but to me it isn't. I still remember thinking well if I want performance on-par with a tower, I'm gonna drop some money. But in a month, in a few months, I won't even care I spent that money and it'll last me years.

I've built in SFFs a few times now specifically the Lian-Li A4H2O, it can fit a Strix 3090 sized card.
