Even then, Apple maliciously complied. They put shit speed usb-c, (maybe 2.0?) on all but the highest most expensive model.

You’re basically describing any of the electronic style coffee machines, good luck repairing a vendor lock-in optimized keurig or nespresso machine that scans your pods to validate their IDs before brewing.
Trivial is a strong word, but sure it’s trivial during static analysis. This is dynamic analysis and it’s a different beast.
That’s my initial reaction too.
Translation: you made shit up and can’t find any source to back up your world view
Node size wasn’t one of the metrics I was comparing so love to see some benchmarks to prove this gap isn’t as bad as I was aware…
The real reason I won’t buy one - despite wanting one really badly - is that Apple silicon is just too good. The gap between the battery life, performance and efficiency over x86 continues to widen.
Check out your local 2nd hand listings. You might get lucky with someone selling a used one at half price. At which point their lack of ram or storage becomes a much more palatable upgrade problem rather than a deal breaker.
In practice how does that work?
Let’s say they have replacement phone batteries that cost them $20 to make, does the EU limit their profit margins? Do they investigate to make sure it isn’t excessive? If the company tries to sell it for $50, is that too much?
