I built a M3 MBP just to see how much money a mxed out unit would be.

M3 14" MBP Max chip with all the cores 128GB RAM 8TB storage

$4700

That's about the cost of my last MBP and iPhone pair, two times over. At that point, why even go for a laptop, vs. what would clearly be a high end desktop station?

Am I confused, or are you confidently asserting that desktop systems are objectively superior to laptops?

Are you implying they're not? The only reason anyone even buys laptops is because PCs aren't portable. Otherwise PCs are the best.
