I don't think that's a valid point to make now. A 2013 macbook is a fundamentally different machine, much more modular. For the all soldered machines, ultra compact, we simply don't have the data. And for real "repair" meaning you rip out everything and replace with a new board "module" isn't exactly sustainable design. You are extrapolating apples to oranges.

We still use my 2013 macbook air, it’s a good as new. Completely non-modular, the only thing we have replaced, and the only thing that can be replaced, is the battery. Just like in 2021. Modular macbooks are even older, maybe pre-2012?
