Yes, but techies have always found a way to circumvent that. I heard very similar arguments in 2013 when there were major changes going on for the macbook. Ten years down the road I‘m still able to replace almost anything in my new macbook. Yes, it’s gonna be a cheaper analogue or the guy is not that skilled, but overall it’s still possible.

It’s a little bit unfortunate to reduce the discussion to Apple devices only, because the same arguments can be applied to all other mainstream devices (Switch, Steam Deck, etc.).
