No, they won't. People repeat this, but Macs constitute a minority of the low-end market and will continue to for the foreseeable future.

This has been the case when $400 Retina Intel Macbooks were flooding the used market; it was the case when Costco sold $700 M1 MBAs. If you cannot extrapolate what will happen with the $600 laptop, then I don't think you have payed attention to what the market is buying.
