TL;DR:  your options to get to parity with Apple hardware of that time
means that you need to invest another $300 at today's prices, which put
your total spent to date at ~$1450 (that we know of), and it looks like
it would still fall short in the third hardware metric. But it is about
as good as you can expect to do with the starting point your 'expert'
chose for you.

  In other words, the Mac would be half a second faster on a typical
operation, at most, who the hell cares, ...

If you really didn't care about responsiveness, then you'd still be using your 2010 PC. Strike one.
You'd also not have bragged about how Linux was faster than Windows on your 2021 PC.  Strike two.
Nor have claimed its a "high end" system, trying (but failing) to claim performance parity with the 'overpriced' Mac Studio.  Strike three.

... my computer also didn't cost
as much as you are adding up, it's a little under $1000.  The Winblows
license is not really part of it, I'm not even using it anymore.

No, the $1150 value stands because it doesn't matter what you bought and later discarded, for you still bought it with the intent to use.  Ditto for your error with your video controllers too.
