Yes, but having all three of those things (well, specs/performance is probably just one thing, but treating them as separate as you did means that I don't have to do the heavy lifting of figuring out what a third thing would actually be) IS, in fact, a luxury.
Nobody is away from a power source for longer than 18 hours. MOST people don't need the performance that a macbook air has, their NEEDS would be met by a raspberry pi... that is, basic finances, logging into various services, online banking, things that first world citizens "rely" on.
The definition of luxury is "great comfort and extravagance", and every current Apple product fits that definition. Past Apple definitely had non-luxury products, as recently as the iPhone C (discontinued 10 years ago)... but Apple has eliminated all low-value options from their lineup.
