With that attitude, you will hate all Apple products. If stuff breaks, you drive to the genius bar and they’ll helpfully exchange your hardware for another one. And if it’s a software bug, your only option is to patiently wait.
This is the kind of thing I could absolutely not stand unless I was getting paid for it. I paid for the laptop. This button does X. When I press this button, it needs to do X. Let me at least fix it so that it does X. If it was a free laptop or I was getting paid to sit around waiting for X to work again, that's absolutely fine. But if I paid for it, it should either work or let me fix it.
