Macs fail often. It's just annoying to hear this myth perpetuated that they never fail. They might fail less than other vendors' laptops, but 'macs never fail' is clearly not true - one simple example is 'staingate'.
They do fail. But when they do it doesn’t disappear into some independent repairers hole for six months and you get a messed up pile of tainted shit back (Acer, Sony, Asus I’m looking at you). I’ve never had a mac or thinkpad break where I haven’t killed it physically and I’ve fixed them myself then.
