Damn you Apple ! Typically, they fix one thing and fail/restrict two. There are (still) too many users that want to upgrade things when/how/where they want, there are even more users that do not have an Apple repair center across the street, and there even more users in the world that can not afford a machine/configuration that costs 4 months in salary. They would rather fix/upgrade things themselves (they are not the incapable idiots that mistakenly break things, as Apple wants everyone to believe) instead of (over)paying for AppleCare, they would like to outlength whatever Apple offers, they would like to install Linux (or anything else) on internal storage, etc.
You have to be really brainwashed or gullible to believe that Apple does things for the benefit of its users/customers. Too often they look even way greedier than Microsoft, Google, Intel, Nvidia, etc. And yes, T2 IS an unnecessary=evil chip. The current product line, management, decisions, etc might tell us a lot about Apple (and subsequently the whole industry) but that doesn't mean that I have to accept it (aka "deal with it").
