Taking the long-term perspective, price are more reasonable today

That doesn't work. Component prices and manufacturing costs have gone down, plus economies of scale and supply-chain, etc.

Better to compare with what others sell similar gear for.

Haven't done a comparison for the MacBook Pro, but in raw spec's the top Dell XPS 13 is a better deal than the present-day MacBook Air for the same money... Plus, Dell has coupons and sales that bring the price down periodically.
