Great buy though- excellent value. Very pleased with mine from last time - which serves as a very capable 'desktop replacement' - and uses only 2-4.5W of power consumption during real-world use, driving two large format displays (at/near 4K). I barely even use my desktop PC anymore because it uses ~100W to do the same thing, and it's no faster or smoother than the M4 Mini for general use.
1 - It has "only" 256gb of storage. Yes, it sucks. USB4/Thunderbolt external NVMe/SSD will be a cheap addition, or get the aftermarket internal chip upgrade.
2 - It's still expensive. Ok, provide a link to machine that has comparable performance and capabilities in a similar form factor for this price.

This is like complaining that my honda s2000 is garbage because it only has 2 seats and I have a family of 4. Wrong vehicle.
Luckily, thunderbolt SSD's are very good as is the option of network attached storage.
I had more storage on my "Hackintosh" when Intel Dev Kit released on Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.1.... About 20 years ago.

For the $4000 Mac Studio Ultra, that $59/year makes a lot more sense.
It's all about level of risk and value in what you are covering.
