My MacBook Pro had over 10k USD in repairs
As long as we're having a big bitch-fest here, I'll throw in my $.02.  Other than expanding batteries, my laptops have generally been trouble-free.  But the problem I do have is that the older my MBP, the slower it becomes when I upgrade the OS. When I upgraded my 2015 to Big Sur last year, it essentially became unusable because it ran so slowly. It now sits in my closet. Apple should stop nagging you to upgrade the OS if your hardware wasn't built to support the newer versions.  Just give us security updates and leave the rest alone. I think that would make a lot of users happy.
