Indeed, new machines can have decent GPUs. Except the install base is where your game will be played.

Thus the average matters.

The install base of your buyer matters, not the install base of Apple. I doubt that the average MacBook Air buyer is the average Mac video gamer, and I bet that MBPs are over represented in Mac video game uses.

I would bet otherwise. Most gamers are casual and casual games usually run on integrated GPUs.

Only top-end MBPs are half decent for gaming anyway.

I have a gaming PC but also used my MBP for gaming on non GPU intensive games.

I was happy with this setup until Catalina killed 32 bit support. Most of the games I played on the MBP was 32 bit.

Killed Mac Gaming for me.
