Currently using macmini i5 from 2014 and HP i7 from 2016. Wary about purchasing from woke companies and don't want to upgrade for a good long time. Budget of 2000$. Would appreciate the input of battle-hardened keyboard warriors.

This. $2000 is a lot to spend unless you’re doing some gaming. Look into building your own. I’ve done it a few times and it’s intimidating at first but not as hard as you would think. There are a lot of videos and forums for guidance and help.
I have done this before and have some technical help with assembly so perhaps the best way to go.
The buildapc subreddit is a great place to start. I know it’s Reddit, but it’s a very active group with many people helping people in your shoes. It’ll at least give you some ideas to start with. Pcpartpicker is good too once you start gathering parts to show you any compatibility issues.
Good advice - the last self-build I did I spent more time investigating compatibility than just about anything else.
