Maybe the reason Apple customers don't care is because their machines give them less trouble? And they have more disposable income?
Not defending Apple here (my next computer is definitely not going to be Apple), just trying to understand how Apple users think.
The thing that sucks is other industries/companies copying Apple. Lenovo computers are increasingly becoming harder to repair. Expensive, big machines like tractors are being locked down etc. Samsung made fun of apple when they removed the headphone jack but now Samsung and everyone else is doing the same, trying to squeeze more money out of the customer, airpods style.
Maybe we should make a list of repair friendly, environment friendly and customer friendly hardware and stick only to those.
