Resale value is great on them too. I sold my 10 year old MBP (after I paid for an Apple cert battery replacement) for close to 50% of what I paid when it was brand new.
Good for you but who pays that much for that old hardware? While many computers run well beyond 10 years, it’s hardly surprising if components break down after that time.
My early 2015 MBP is still my daily driver for programming, I will never regret spending so much on an MBP when they last this long. I went through two windows laptops in four years before this one. It is starting to show its age with only 8 GB of RAM, but I’m going to use it until it melts haha

For MacBooks, 10 years is barely broken in. I’ve had MacBook Airs as daily drivers for well over 10 years.

The answer is an emphatic “someone”. It’s a brand-name thing I’d imagine.
