I have no idea why there is so much anti-consumer hate on this post. I worked in many retail stores over the years. People make mistakes all the time, they buy the wrong thing, they don't understand what they bought, it was a gift and wasn't the right one, on and on. Some people take advantage of it, of course. You take the return to make them happy, so they feel confident buying from you. Retailers are not flea markets (as Tim Cook might say) you aren't just f#$@%d after making a purchase. Get a grip, try and return something if you're not happy. Retailers WANT you to be happy believe it or not. They can always say no if they think it's the right choice. It was always frustrating when someone would complain they bought something and it sucked and they were super mad, and didn't say anything! Say something, say it nicely, and maybe you'll be happy?! Imagine that!
I think because some people feel like they just have to get angry and spiteful instead of being helpful or sympathetic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i’ve definitely made bad purchase decisions myself. I bought the first generation Retina MacBook with that horrible keyboard, and kept it for too long hoping to “get used to it“ and passed the return window.

There you go. You made a bad mistake and owned it. Did you go online and complain about how it was obsolete and how mean Apple were not replacing it after the return window?

I've made similar bad mistakes in the past, that said I ended up getting a 2015 MBP when I heard how much folk didn't like the keyboard on the 2016.

Many folk have had problems with the first M1 devices - so it may well be the OP saved themselves from other problems as a result.
