I prefer a slimmer laptop to replaceable parts, and consider myself a professional user. I have to guess there is more money overall in serving my piece of the market than the one that wants to buy a machine for a lower price and then not buy a new one for longer since they can just upgrade parts of it.

Even so, I still sometimes disagree with priorities around thinness - I would have preferred a thicker 2016 model with a legal max battery that supported 32gb of ram. Possible they found out too late in the process that 32gb lpddr was not going to be ready though?
