Apple is not the gold standard, Eizo's ColorEdge monitors are. Built-in hardware calibration is non-negotiable for color critical work. Monitors drift over time.

No it is mostly a convenience gimmick. Support for external hardware calibration is important though. But far more important feature, implemented properly only by Eizo and no one else I am aware of - is uniformity compensation. Benq has it, so does Dell, but they all come with sever limitations compared to Eizo.
Until you decide to use Linux and all the distros you're interested in force you to use Wayland (which is a color management trainwreck).
Also, I find that for actual work the calibration actually gets done if the display does it by itself during night at set intervals. Perhaps I'm just lazy.
