Buying a mac doesn't force you to use macos, I just love their hardware but stick to linux as dev environment. My mac mini has a ubuntu/macos dual boot.
If you are going to stick with ubuntu better check if there are any issues with the new macbooks. I've read about thermal and suspend problems with the old macbooks but on my mac mini ubuntu runs smoothly.
