Take the product expected to have top-notch design with best in its class UX and discover you need to open it up and make a hardware modification and then cover its metal body with a cheap-looking plastic case... If you run Asahi on it as well, at this point why even bother with Apple...

There's nothing nefarious about this. The whole point is to not make the bottom too hot when you rest your super thin laptop on top of your lap.

Price discrimination, MacBooks aren’t their top of the line product so it’s intentionally less powerful than it could be.
