I'm wondering if Apple's Logic allows you to automatically split a sound file into multiple pieces based on criteria such as time-lapse (split a larger file into n 2 seconds chunks).
I'd rather not pay $499 to find out that it doesn't or doesn't do it well.
The manual is free

And bear in mind that a great deal of any audio suite's functionality comes in the form of plugins from other vendors.
Why spend $500 at all? You can get Audacity, an open source audio editor that's scriptable to do exactly that kind of thing?

Using the Marquee tool in Logic, you can select a precise sound file piece but I don’t think there is any automatic function to do many chunks at once, just one chunk at a time. Edit; Yes, there IS a way to divide the selection into equal chunks. There is a built-in Key Command to do it with. You just have to define which available Keys you wish to do it with. Apple has a good Logic Pro forum, ask over there too. Logic Pro X is only $199 now and well worth it.
