I mean dude, come on. the ref to mbpr was to illustrate the fragility of the things - did you count the busted screens that aren't due to drops? the video was to illustrate the problem with soldered on SSDs, how apple got a multitude of different suppliers (and whose quality varies wildly) and how the TBW's for those devices are incongruent with normal use on other platforms - and those you can simply swap out.
I'm arguing people shouldn't buy 5-year old 8gig devices for $300+, you're advocating for $1K+ machines that are marginally better and not even that when you consider the subject of this post, running linux on it. give it a rest already, you're not proving anything.
