> but the base $3.5k spec with only 256 GB is extreme.

The plain meaning of this sentence is "I expect more than 256 GB of storage when paying $3.5K for a device". You can argue for or against that if you like (I don't give a shit, because I would not buy it at any price), but not against something they did not say.

I did not, no.

The parent poster's "EDIT: clarity" note should be a clue here.
