Typical Apple having to have one weird aspect that could be corrected (copper heatsink - the new 14 MBP has it on the Max models unlike the M1 14") for $5 but won't in order to drive sales of the higher end model for specific use cases. The Studio's coil whine rules it out so I guess it's hypothetical Mac Pro, 16" MBP (maybe, haven't seen intense audio tests of this), or bupkis.
Saying first world problem because you aren't in a noise sensitive environment is ridiculous - I assume you've never used a condenser or ribbon mic that needs an enormous amount of gain - and yes, people have computers in their studios. I have a synthesizer in my studio that I have to turn off when I record with a sensitive Mic because it'll pick the fans in it up. These are all first world problems, we're talking about multi-thousand dollar computers from a high end brand. But they're still valid problems nonetheless.
For day-to-day none of this matters but for recording specifically it's a huge deal and Apple has made one computer with Apple Silicon so far that fits the bill, or two if you count the M1 Mini which I don't because 32GB is a bare minimum for what I need, and ideally more.
I drilled holes and routed cables into another room for a PC but I don't want to spend a thousand dollars on Optical Thunderbolt cables and more hubs that can be flaky or introduce more latency which matters when using midi over usb for VI control. I need direct access to multiple thunderbolt ports for audio interfaces and I can't daisy chain them - it introduces all kinds of issues with audio gear and this is based on my personal testing multiple options trying to work with a hot & noisy 16" Intel Macbook Pro, not internet forums. Daisy chaining is a non-starter for audio, full stop.
