As someone who's never had a mac, can't we just buy the 256gb and swap out the internal SSD or is the storage soldered too?

SSD is soldered. But more than that, the storage controller is built into the SOC and the SSD is just plain flash memory. So even if you manage to swap it out, it will not work.

With the M series, they went full on non-standardised parts.

There's a learning curve when you switch from Windows to Mac. You'll eventually get used to it because all shortcuts are different and how things work in Mac is distinct as well.

My friend who works for that green logo company been given a dell precision laptop. I wondered how much his config would cost. So I built it on Dell's site. With lovelace 3000 GPU and 128GB ram it came to f'ing 10L. I asked my friend how much is the battery backup, he happily said it's around 4 hours. He never had a laptop with this much of battery backup before.

Coming back to your point, yes, the base MacBook Airs do look enticing. But the rest of Apple's lineup is also not bad if you have a use case for it. We can have a 6L MacBook Pro that outperforms my friend's 10L Dell Precision in almost every department.

There's a void of serious-serious high-end business laptops in the Windows ecosystem.

Agreed, there's quite nothing that matches the Airs at their price points.

AirPods Pros and the Mac. I vouch for both. iPhone on the other hand? Terrible. I can't wait to switch to Android.

Macs cannot be upgraded. After market accessories exist and there are new 1TB M.2 in market for new mac mini but in hindsight 256GB is more than enough. I use macbook pro for my office work and mac air 13" for personal use. It's more than enough since you don't need to keep a lot of data locally. I use a few external SSDs and a baremetal server for most of my heavy workflows. Even for designing and video editing, 256gb is enough with external disks.
 
8 gb is not enough 6 gb is used by os it's self even apple fan boys are saying this (max tech) remember gpu is using ram ... & there is only some thing that can be done by memory swap it's not unlimited... other than that mac os is fairly easy to learn or u can remap keys or assign shortcuts using apps
