logic pro,
Final Cut pro
(all legit and purchased by me)
maybe some imaging apps like Graphic
Pixelmator and Pixelmator Pro
Office 365.
Apple Keynote, Pages and Numbers - the main apps I use.
 
I'm in the Apple ecosystem because of Logic Pro, and I use that and all sorts of other audio plugins with the Air.

I switched to Macs way back with the white polycarbonate MacBook and Logic Express. I briefly experimented in using an iPad for music, but then got an 11" Air and just love running Logic on the smallest Mac possible.

One nice thing about the current Air, it's now possible to get 1TB or more without having to buy a higher spec/heavier Mac.
 
I spent the past year using the Adobe suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign), DxO Photolab, and Final Cut Pro, Topaz Video Enhance, etc. all without issue and frankly with much better performance than I was getting with my 2019 16" MBP.
