The glasses thing is a simile. As for why not an iMac? Presumably because he doesn't want an iMac. He could prefer a laptop, or still need Intel, or want a bigger screen, or some other reason.

I came here to ask the important question, but you asked for me. Seconded.

Or, buy a different 5K monitor? Apple is not the only game in town here.

You mean that one LG panel that's basically the same thing but with build quality issues?

Because Apple stuff is basically guaranteed to be excellent. I’m over playing the lotto with whatever washed out garbage Acer/HP/Lenovo/BenQ/whatever want to put out for a monitor these days. Whatever Apple has been doing in the last ten years with their panels is great and I’ll stick with it. The panel on my ‘21 MBP (M1 Pro) is the best screen I’ve ever laid eyes on.
