Just a shower thought. Obviously depends on the industry, but in terms of electronics I fee enthusiast grade (think gaming motherboards, for example) are better built than professional grade. Thoughts?

Professional grade - in terms of systems that large corporations buy even when it’s 2× more than equivalent consumer systems - are very high quality. These systems are designed with robustness and ease of repair in mind.

What they won’t have, mind you, are bleeding-edge features. What they do have as features are robustly-tested “boring” features that cannot be considered truly “bleeding edge” as they have already been out and tested for at least a little while. After all, the point is to have reliable systems that large businesses can trust. And bleeding-edge tech is not often reliable.
