No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple’s anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can’t even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don’t even own it.

    Why would any of this make them not resellable or stealable, as if there aren’t loads of iPhones and MacBooks on ebay?

      Good luck getting top dollar for an activation locked device. If you paid full price for one of those, you got scammed.
