Vote with your wallet. Well, those buying this kind of mac are basic users (non-pejorative), so it will continue to be there.
I love when back in the day people said that mastering the hardware and software would help to drive cost down, well their cost. :)
I have a 2015 Macbook for work reasons and I have no problem with it other than the battery being mostly kaput and that's replaceable if I feel like paying someone to do it. When Apple stops supporting it, I'll install Linux on it. When I finally have to buy another machine, I'll probably just get a $300 Chromebook because I have another computer to run the work software and this Mac is now just a glorified web browser. But I'm sure as fuck not buying a Macbook.
