 This is the part that makes me hesitant to proclaim Apple's success.
If they had put it in one of their flagship products that would show
their confidence, but they have stuck it in a budget product and
publicly lowered expectations by stating it won't achieve the greatest
results.

Apple has done that before. The Apple Silicon M-series CPU chips debuted in the low-end MacBook Air, 13in MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini, before slowly being rolled out to the higher end models, with the top-end Mac Pro being the very last to be swapped over from Intel CPUs.
