Very interesting, although when I think of the Mac, “super cheap computer” is not the phrase that comes to mind.

That's true, but remember that the Apple Lisa cost $9,995 when it was first released in 1983 and the Mac cost $2,945 when it was released the following year. So, the Mac was a “super cheap computer”. Kind of.

That’s like saying a Porsche is cheap compared to a Ferrari! To be honest, I suspect the first Mac was pretty cheap to make and that where their perspective is from, it’s just that Apple sold it at an incredible markup, because they could.

True. I wouldn't have been able to afford either.
