All I want is a top of the line MBP, with all it’s performance and insane battery life, but running a Linux distro of my choice :(

These things are so fast that you can run a virtual Linux without even noticing performance issues.

I literally tried that few days a go, what you're saying is not true.

Compiling Linux:

AMD 6800HS, ~4mins.

Apple M1 Pro, Linux VM, ~10 mins.

Agreed, but probably getting a Lenovo Legion will be your best bet in the near term.

I'm driving a 2022 XPS. Lots of people will (and should) disagree, but I've completely shifted over from Thinkpads to Dell XPS (or Precision) for my laptops.

asahi linux

Doesn't run on M3 or M4 yet.

I'm guessing "of my choice" was key there. Though I suppose you could use asahi just as a virtualizer.
