But you don't have to replace the MacBook, you can just replace the battery.

On newer Macbooks the battery is literally glued in. An Apple authorized repair center is going to charge you $200+ for a replacement.

My initial cynical point still stands. The thing is a status symbol, a display of wealth for lower to mid class, just buy a new one.

It's not just a status symbol, it's also a fantastic laptop. I honestly don't find it reasonable to recommend normal people anything other than an M1 Mac at this point.
