Apple is no longer a product company - they haven't focused on their product quality in years. They've become a cult, and customers like you have become their true product. Here's some highlights from that list of great dev machine "features"

* No ability to run kernel level debugging tools like dtruss without completely compromising the security of your machine.

* Unreachable battery that requires a one week maintenance window to replace. If your battery is part of a defective batch, you have to give up your work machine for an entire week to replace the battery.

* Super flaky logic board that's completely separate from the main board, with zero ability to troubleshoot or debug any issues with it. It also causes lots of unexpected issues, like the haptic feedback failing, resulting in a touchpad with no click.

* Absolutely no user land documentation at all. If you need to figure out how to configure or use some piece of software, good luck looking through random message boards and blog posts.

* Keycaps that wear through after a few months of heavy use.

* Designed with insufficient cooling, running at near full load will cause the CPU and GPU to massively throttle to reduce heat.

* Only has proprietary Thunderbolt 3 interfaces, without even a single standard interface (the headphone port doesn't count for much)

* No standard USB interface type, and charges massive markup on the required adapaters to allow the use of existing devices.
