Best in class doesn't mean best in spec. They're relatively best for quality and longevity. My '12 rMBP has the best keyboard and trackpad on the market, there is no laptop that is better than this and these features are what I use all day long. I'm still using it and I have no plans to replace it for another 3-4 years. That's something I cannot say for any PCs I've bought in the past.

Also, no one is buying Macbooks to take it apart, so the RAM/batteries/connectors are the least of majority of the market's concerns.

I don't claim any loyalty to any platform but I rather run software on my Macs because I know it lasts a long time. Prior to my '12 rMBP, I had a Macbook that I've used for 4-5 years and I sold it for a decently nice price, it held it resales value.

Just because you can't understand it, doesn't mean it is not the best for others.

I have no problem with macOS, it's fine for my purpose. I had far more issues with Windows 10 than I had with macOS and I actually have a Surface Pro 4 as well.
