You can cancel a download, but if you've enabled automatic updates macOS might not be aware that you have data limits. And that's terrible. Maybe file a bug or support ticket with Apple.

But the rest of your post is puzzling. The original post was about buying a MacBook & how awful that might be. You're describing developing Apple apps for Apple's platform (and 2FA for a dev account). How would you do those things without an Apple device? And why? If you don't like the forced Apple way, why develop for their platform? But also how does that relate to the choice between the 3 devices in the original post?

Okay, that little rant about iOS may have been a little off target, but the picture I was trying to paint about the "Apple way" is that is desires absolute commitment to their ecosystem, anything less and you find yourself with shoddy compromise.
