The Mac was actually at that time the cheapest way to perform desktop publishing. There were dedicated machines for it like this CompuGraphic which offered superior features but at a $10,000 price tag.

No one had (relatively, for the time) high resolution screens and pointing devices on consumer machines when these were new. Look up CGA or EGA games for a glimpse at nasty-looking "high resolution" PC graphics. The monochrome stuff on Mac wasn't as colorful, but it was sharper.

Workgroup networking technology was much simpler on Macs for schools and small offices.

High resolution printing from machines like the LaserWriter was hot stuff back then.
