My MacBook Pro exploded and burst into flames

Absolutely not! I haven't a clue why you think that. My point is, the guy I responded to complains that he can get his commodity hardware fixed anywhere while his Apple needs to be taken to a "specialty" store as if they were the same thing.

can you respond to this :c an you get it unscheduled repairs from Apple in the same day?

I had more then 1 point, let me be more clear:

1 I had more then one repair shop in a small city, so I have choices

2 I got the unscheduled issue diagnosed and fixed in max 2 hours

3 I even made a GPU upgrade and I had choices AMD or NVIDIA

Btw even living in a village I can get things fixed like any other people, like when a new thing I bought broke in the first week I sent it back, it took 3 weeks to have it replaced but it works on small villages too. My example was about a PC that was important for my work and that was out of warranty, though with PCs, in the way I buy them I have warranty for each part so I have the option to go in the town, have someone test and replace the broken part(maybe I buy a cheap GPU or RAM) and send only the broken part back.

That's great that everything works so well for your use-case but this isn't a PC vs Apple issue. There's no need to repeatedly try to convince anyone that your way is better. We all live different lives and make different choices.

What would be wrong if Apple customers would have choices? Nobody would force you to use a third party repair shop.
