Okay... a part failure out of warranty is kinda just that. I wonder how much effort was put into actually contacting Support and politely asking to get this covered, because in my experience it's not that hard to get Apple to either fix stuff for free or at least at their "flat rate" price which traditionally has been around $300 for 15" MBPs and covers everything — in my case once I basically got a new Mac back based on the number of parts replaced, including the display which had some discoloration, when it was brought in for completely separate reasons — which is totally reasonable given it was several years out of warranty.
When the problem is the design, you know the repair will fail the same way after warranty is over. Just like the NVidia GPU failures, where Apple would replace your motherboard for free once the issue was acknowledged... until they ran out of replacements and all the replacements had the same GPU and died the same way.
That’s why this lawsuit exists.
Or AMD failures, as was the case with my 2011 MBP. You know what? I got I think four logic boards, new display, new top case assembly, new hard drive, not sure what else for I think one flat rate repair at $310 and the rest for zero dollars out of that Mac over a period of about 8 years. If it's a known fault, they'll take care of it. I got my money's worth several times over out of that Mac.
You seriously need to move on with your life if you're still upset over your MBP that died.
