Excellently put
I've been following all the shit they've done to macbooks - which is why mine is about six years old when normally I'd have replaced it after four years. Aside from the horrendous keyboard shit - and let's not forget that the keyboard you describe can break with not so much more than a biscuit crumb in the wrong place - there is also
flexgate - display cable for monitor so short that after just over one year it breaks and fucks the display. Unlike in previous models you cant just replace the cable for a few pounds, no the cable is built into the display in such a way that you can only fix this by getting a new display - which costs $600

USB-C ports on mine fried a bunch of adapters, mice and keyboards
I know everything will be USB-C soon, but a few years ago they could have just left one USB on the Macbook Pro that's presumably supposed to be used by professionals such as photographers. So many dongles.
So yeah, in conclusion Macbooks been getting steadily worse for about 7 years now.
