Since you don't like Macs, you assume they're "fancy toys".
The simpler conclusion is that if people are still buying Macs when there is a cash crunch, it's probably because they value them highly for their needs.
Unless you need something pretty to impress your conspicous consumer friends, an Apple product is probably a waste of money. They come in form factors that are not terribly work friendly. They sacrifice functionality for aesthetics. They have fewer available options.
Unless you have a hardon for a particular bit of Mac-only software, the Mac itself is pretty pointless.
Macs are for running MacOS, and that's only for the vanishingly small minority of people that do real work with Apple hardware.
