Time is money. But money is also money. A few seconds or minutes here and there isn't worth all that money.

Who gets a laptop with less than 1TB of storage these days?
People who:
1. Do a lot of cloud based stuff
2. Do a lot of stuff that requires such large files that 1TB isn’t enough so they use external storage.

In both cases, 512GB is more than enough to install all apps, keep photos and music libraries, and keep your current projects on the internal storage (but not the support and output files for the projects)

These things have gotten so good that I am finally upgrading my M1 air to an M5 pro and I really don't need to, I just miss having 2 external screens. Way back when, pretty much had to upgrade every 2 years.

It depends on the application.

If you need to render photo quality output, you can produce it twice as fast or twice as detailed, but for the actual creation, it may not save any time.

Live output could also be more detailed with more power, but I don’t think going to the non-Pro M5 from a Pro M1 is a good move. I am waiting to see what the M5 Pro and Max do compared to the M1 Pro.

Steve Jobs famously put it in terms of lives saved ('https://www.folklore.org/Saving_Lives.html'), rather than money.

For my part, I used to lead a daily call that cost around a hundred dollars per minute. Not gonna get into details, but a few minutes can add up very quickly.

To give some more realistic scenarios for folks eyeing an upgrade from the M1 generation:
- If a developer rebuilds their app 40 times/day, and it takes 30 seconds on their old machine instead of the 15 seconds it could take after an upgrade, that's 10 minutes/day or roughly 40 hours/year. At my company's bill rates, that's more than enough for a new laptop in less than a year.
- It's a truism that if a build takes more than a few seconds, devs get distracted. So even if it only takes an extra 15 seconds on paper, in practice it's an extra minute (or more, if we're being honest) because they're reading Reddit or—even worse—chatting up someone. Now that 15 seconds loss has become a 1 minute loss, so we're talking roughly 4 weeks per year, which should justify a new laptop (or 10, depending on your hourly rate and the machine's spec).

And build times are just one of many examples. How many others are there for you? Could web pages have loaded 1s faster? How many of those do you load each day? Do you have to reboot every morning because of company policy? How's that for you? You'd be shocked how a small savings, repeated often, adds up and how getting rid of them can make a huge difference. xkcd covered this ('https://xkcd.com/1205/'), in fact (because of course they did).
