Apple has always be proprietary and always will. Apple II and Macintosh Plus days, they sold all their own peripherals.

I had a Dell XPS 13 1645 that had a great display, but everything else about it was awful.

Well, in reality, you can't be a purist or you'll end up with nothing. The Lenovo T480 is solid and has two batteries.

What? The Apple II was a fantastically open machine! It even came with the circuit schematic and ROM source code right in the manual! It had lots of slots and there was a massive third-party ecosystem. It was when Jobs got to design machines with the Apple III/Lisa/Mac that things closed up.
