Because the majority of Apple users simply have NO business inside a computer. The only Apple computers you will see (and have seen for a while) that can be easily serviced by the user, is the Mac Pro. They have always been serviceable.
Like it or not, we are talking about a small group that actually know what they are doing opening up a computer, and the problem is that when they do, they come back saying “something isn’t working”… expecting it to be fixed under warranty.
This is the part of apple fans that i simply dont understand.
Always choosing Apples anti consumer practices that ends up hurting ourselves as consumers.
So instead of having an easier access to clean these systems (which we all will have to do at some point) we “prefer” an almost impossible to access system that will necessitate a trip to an apple store and pay for it.
And no, AppleCare is not free.
I mean, just look at all these pages of “hacks” and extra expenses that we are doing just to delay the inevitable.
You do have one point about avoiding warranty calls, but guess what, many of these people will not open the system even if it was easily accessible like the Apple ][ was.
But seriously, its beyond crazy how much we bend over for poor and defenseless Apple.
