I don't think this really makes sense. I agree that you could characterize things like soldering on RAM and storage, or gluing the battery in, as user-hostile (because that means the user can't repair or replace or upgrade), but changing the interface used by a component that's already integrated just won't matter to any user (at least one that is staying in the Apple ecosystem). This sort of thing only matters to people who want to run Linux or Windows (or something else) on Apple hardware.

Please don't do this. Complaining about downvotes is a waste of time, and ultimately detracts further from what you're trying to say.
