This is a decent deal, but the best deal was couple of weeks ago when Microcenter had the same exact model for $2599 for a day. I price matched it with Best Buy and bought it from BB.

$3,000 for a 16" laptop is just bonkers!
Maybe, but for people who will benefit from what it offers, there are not many other options. This laptop will easily last 10 years or more. If $300 per year is worth it for one of the best laptops ever made, then if someone can afford it and benefit from what it offers, it's a great deal.
I have an M1 Pro MacBook Pro that's coming up on 5 years old that hasn't slowed down the slightest bit that's noticeable. It should get me through another few years at a minimum.

No, I don't have a MC near, but BB allows price matching with MC. You have to chat with BB customer service and they send you a special link where the price reflects the new price and you buy there. Everything was painless and the MBP arrived 2-3 days later as there was none in any store nearby. Now the deal is gone, so you have to wait to see if it comes back again. I think the best price for this same exact model in MC is currently $2789 which is still better than this.
Does this come with the nano texture display? I'm guessing not. Has anyone seen a retailer that sells Macbook Pro's with it, or does it have to be purchased directly from Apple?

Easily lasts 10+ years' is marketing copium, not how Apple support actually works. On paper the hardware might survive a decade, but Apple historically gives MacBook Pros maybe 5–7 years of new macOS versions and then only ~2–3 more years of security‑only patches before they quietly age them out.
After that you're stuck on a frozen OS while browsers and apps start bailing, which is basically Cupertino's version of planned obsolescence: they don't brick the laptop, they just stop feeding it.
So if you're paying three grand for a '16‑inch that lasts 10+ years,' you're actually buying around 7 solid years of first‑class software support and then a few extra years of hanging on with diminishing security and app compatibility—assuming nothing hardware‑related dies first.
