I wonder why so few people ask Apple products of such questions -- "what if my SSD goes bad, does it mean my computer is now completely useless?"

I would also ask this! But part of the framework brand was selling a laptop where the answer to that question was being able to replace it on your own. So it's just kind of a contrast for their desktop to be less repairable than their laptop.

Personally I think it's bad that apple products are so poorly repairable and so expensive to upgrade.

Worse, Apple also still claims to care about the environment. While not allowing the iMac to be used as external screen, cutting its useful lifetime by at least a decade.
