My point is it’s not unique to Apple, so saying “don’t buy Apple because they do X” when literally every other computer company does the same thing is a poor argument.
That’s really not the fight we should be having, we should be fighting for a right to repair, which would mean we’d at least have a chance at an alternative to their overpriced services. Even if upgrades are complex, if customer and independent repair places have access to parts, someone will find a way to do those upgrades.
