Yeah I thought this was quite disappointing too.

"PCs can't even run this!" ....when using a PC with specs too low to run the specific thing we chose to do.

"Mac's can't even run notepad.exe!" would be fair using Apple's approach to these kind of claims (i.e. choosing to run software with requirements that you know they cannot meet)

In fairness, Apple's claim is that no laptop can do it, and to that angle they are correct.

Would an eGPU enable certain laptops to do this? I get that that's 'cheating', but also is it? I need a shit ton of peripherals to run my Mac workstation

Well, you would need a GPU with 96GB of VRAM, might be able to do multiple eGPUs, not sure...but that still would hit major throughput limits.
