Seems to be this massive untapped market of people who are upset with their options.

Or the reality is most people don't care as long as they can check instagram and open tiktok.

What is more likely?

It's both: People are upset but they lack agency, so they deal.

I just don't think people are that upset about this. I think there are other things that they are more upset about that happen far more often.

We constantly get anecdotes on here like this post, Yet everyone I know who has a mac never has any of these troubles, or if they do apple takes relative care of them. My mom's macbook still kicks after 10 years. The only issue which I saw a friend have was the keyboard debacle. Other than that, I never hear of these situations.

What are the actual numbers?
