No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple's anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can't even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don't even own it.

Right to repair isn't a law yet in most places. You seem have have missed that whole debacle.

Edit: my country actually has right to repair laws: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57665593

It is not a law in most places yet and yet you defended the other guy when you said he was claiming apple is violating his repair rights and that I was arguing in bad faith??

And since when do I care about the law? Also there are laws about repair in my country.
