I guess you could get an eGPU. Probably not cheaper than just giving Apple their pound of flesh, though.
If apple supported egpus, sure, you could. But they don't so......
I'm sure I remember reading about Macs using eGPUs.

They supported it on Intel processors.

Oh, their ARM-based machines can't.

Yeah, Apple Silicon giveth, and Apple Silicon taketh away.
Though, honestly, the number of people who would buy any Apple product and ALSO use an eGPU was probably absolutely miniscule and probably didn't even figure into their design planning.
The monitor segmentation is fucking stupid, though: just let me plug in as many damn monitors as I want, why do you care at all, Apple?
