If you just run Linux / *BSD on the hardware, what are the strings you are referring to?

Every time an article comes up reminding me of how great the M1/M2 laptops are, I think about maybe getting a used one in a few years to run Debian on, but the soldered on SSD worries me (especially since early Apple software issues burned through erase cycles).

Running Linux or BSD would be the only possible way for me. But beyond this Apple are the strings for me, as I've mentioned in sibling responses I do not wish to fund the company in any way. 2nd hand unfortunately also funds them indirectly by supporting retail prices through resale value.
