If he's doing this for profit, there has to be a consumer... Who are the consumers and what are they buying?

I wish the world was as utopian as you described. Unfortunately, and I'm sorry to say, that's an extremely naive world view you hold. I hope you won't be taken advantage of by people with less good intentions.

Then you know full well that just because they shouldn't take all the crab legs doesn't mean they don't/won't take them all. If I go for crab legs and none are available, I'll blame Mandarin and give them a crappy review. People will be people. Can't blame them.

Then why advertise it as "unlimited" or "all you can eat"? That's false advertisement.

What? How? The user is simply taking advantage of what is being offered

In what world are "unlimited" and "all you can eat" synonymous with "too far"?

"Too far" implies a definite limit, which is the antonym of unlimited and all you can eat, regardless of the business's ability to sustain it. If there is a limit, don't advertise it as unlimited or all you can eat that's false advertisement.

I would categorize it more as wear and tear rather than disposability, but I do agree that the nature of repairing a MacBook is only for a market that can afford it. It's much like repairing a car, either you continue repairing it, or you drive it to the ground and buy a new one.

As a software developer, I personally do find MacBooks to be more conducive to my profession (my current MacBook is approaching 10 years), so while I wouldn't say I agree with "more people need to leave it", I would say that we as customers should pick the product that suits our needs the most (apple or otherwise). Which I believe is the original message in your comment (get the product that you can afford and are in the market for).
