I think anyone who has bought a MacBook while the mbp 13" was out feels that way.
But
It's polycarbonate and I'm assuming that's less Eco friendly than aluminum so apple may not like that
People may buy it anymore because the mbp13" is so so so much better and only a bit more expensive
They can buy the 11" MBA for the same price which will soon have iX processors and who knows what else
Making it cheaper may possibly be the only way to intice customers to buy it but apple wouldn't want that to cannibalize iPad sales.
I just don't see the MacBook surviving 🙁
Although, I've been wrong plenty times before and apple sometimes does things that are unpredictable 😀
