The laptop cost about 110% of my monthly entry-level salary.
GitHub CI also has much better network connectivity (both speed and especially ping) compared to most parts of my country.
By your logic poor people actually have more money to spend on renting cloud services.
In my country I've seen people rent cars, rent a smartphone, and literally rent someone else's Uber account just to work as a driver.
If Mighty had developed their product for ancient Windows laptops instead of Macs, they would have had millions of customers. It still wouldn't be profitable, because they'd be very poor customers.
Sounds silly, but suppose you are a starving artist whose ancient laptop can't even run Photoshop. It might make sense to remote into a powerful computer that can run Google Chrome, then from that computer use a web-based Photoshop replacement like Figma.
Unfortunately the people at Mighty chose to focus on Mac users, because they had to impress wealthy investors to get them to invest, and those investors are Mac users.
