Hopefully. The Mac to replace my aging late-2013 would be at least $2,999 at current pricing (15-inch MBP, 32 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD). Really, I should be going to 1 TB, and at least that's starting to become conceivable? But $400 for 32 GB RAM is… painful. And another three-five years of of 16 GB RAM is basically out of the question.
The "oh and by the way, despite the price tag, the keyboard reliability is unclear" is just the cherry on top of that.

I hope so!
But I don't think so. Maybe if they only do a slight speed bump, but a newer Intel generation would have to wait until Comet Lake-H in Q2 next year, so it doesn't seem very plausible Apple would upgrade before that.
