You left out serviceable hard drive. If some component on the MB fails and the laptop won't boot, data recovery is almost impossible.

True, but not a regression as my 2013 is also not serviceable.

That generation does have a proprietary removable drive. You can get a replacement from OWC (and an external enclosure to put your original drive in). I recently replaced a failed drive in a 2013 MBPr.

What do you mean? The 2013 MBP SSD is user serviceable, I just pulled one out yesterday. You can even upgrade it to a 3rd-party nvme ssd, there are kits all over Ebay.
