Stats from the e-commerce vendor in Germany show that Apple's laptops have a fraction of the "in warranty" repair rate, roughly 1 in 200, with many laptops at 1 in 20 or worse.

It's pretty clear that Apple's decisions about manufacturing approaches are not to make iFixit's job harder or easier, but to avoid needing iFixit at all for most users.

Because a lot of Apple users go directly to Apple for warranty claims/repairs, not back to the retailer. That's apples to oranges comparison.

I would imagine if Apple machines are all fixed at Apple, but $other machines are not necessarily fixed at $other, then $other’s rates should be even lower.

That makes no sense. The retailer can't tracks service returns made to Apple or $other.
