If I'm a pro, using a "pro" device, why would I want to risk my livelihood with ill-informed repair people?  Which is what this article really highlights.

And you have the option to take it to Apple. 

Go back to the car example - if FedEx gets its trucks from Ford do they and should they need to go back to a Ford dealer for every repair? Or is it conceivable (I know, this is way out there) that a non-Ford mechanic might be qualified to make a repair?

If Ford requires all maintenance from Ford, you have the choice not to buy their product. Same with Apple. What you want is to dictate to Apple how they should run their company. Apple is in business to make money, not coddle to your whims.

I’ll be jumping from a 2019 intel 16” MBP to an M3 Max MBP with 64GB memory and 4TB SSD. Pretty sure I’ll notice a performance jump 😜

For this price it should have a 2.5Gbe ethernet jack instead of just gigabit.

$32? That is hardly expensive for any kind of tech like this. For example, If I had a dollar for every word I wrote, $32 would last me long enough to say...

They could have done a $68B stock buyback program instead of $70B and still paid those 12,000 people $100K each this year.

Maybe Apple should create a separate sandbox on iOS for all sideloaded apps with default no access to any services. Create a separate ecosystem that can’t screw up everything else. Also would Apple be forced to provide all the programming libraries snd support to sideloaded apps? I would give them zero support and no access to the latest iOS programming libraries.
