I mean, it's no accident they're making every effort to make Mac hardware as unrepairable as possible by third parties. And it's not because they want to repair the things themselves.

Right. It's the upsell.

MBP with water damage to the battery charging circuitry. Battery is fine. Laptop is fine on AC power.

Let's see how much it'll cost... maybe $300ish? Labor, parts?

Nope. "That will be $899. Maybe we should talk about getting you into a new MBP instead?"
