For my work PCs, I had a Dell Desktop, a Asus Laptop and 2 Macbook Pros.
If selecting a PC for work, I would never go for a Windows PC nowadays. You'll get the cheapest option available, filled with all the corporate crap you don't want, and locked down to oblivion.
Macs have a minimum quality bar, and don't tend to get hamstrung quite as easily by company policy. It's just not worth it unless you know for a fact you'll get to choose the machine and software yourself.
As for at home, I'm flexible, but I wouldn't go for Mac if I wanted to game, and now in 2020, I wouldn't go x86 if I needed battery life.
Well there's your problem. Don't define your choices by what you're coerced into using at work where you only go because they pay you. Define yourself by what you choose freely as a person.
It sounds like you've self built before, so why not again? It'll be far more compatible and with fewer proprietary bits than using something from Apple.
I've had the following in my life
* Pentium 4
* 21.5" iMac
* 27" iMac
* Another 27" iMac
* Self built 2700K Intel
* Dell XPS 9560
* Self built 2700X Ryzen
* 2015 15" Macbook Pro
* M1 Macbook Air
