In all cases I’d double check the individual chipset by doing a quick search on the forums whether you decide to go pf or opn.
PfSense offers a range of hardware they support, which disproves your assertion by itself without even mentioning companies like Apple and System76.

I'm totally willing to pay a premium to be lazy. Where did I imply otherwise? If OPNsense offers hardware these days then why didn't anyone just say so?
That disproves nothing. If you want to build your own system you need to research hardware if you want to have a pain free deployment.

This forum is generally filled with people who want to build their own. As for why nobody mentioned they sell hardware: probably because they sold hardware from the beginning and it’s advertised all over their site?
Again, I said nothing about building my own.

This forum is generally filled with people with a lot of qualities. For instance, there are a lot of people here who buy Apple products, which are very much not in the spirit of building one's own. Your assumption doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

That's fair, I haven't looked at their site in ages because the last time I used OPNsense was after the very initial split and to my recollection there was no hardware then.
Does the OPNsense project recommend or endorse any specific models of low-power all-in-one computer hardware for running OPNsense? And if no, is there any specific thing the community would recommend?
I don't want to spend hours on research or build something on Newegg. I want to by a complete piece of hardware that I install OPNsense on and know that I won't have to worry about hardware compatibility.
PS: Apparently OPNsense offers their own appliances these days just like PfSense does.
Only issue I've had is that if it's a J1900 Celeron CPU, ensure you have the machine set to boot via UEFI before installing. (IIRC there's an open issue for FreeBSD installations failing to legacy boot on J1900 boards.)
