This is the difference between actual professional equipment, and "pro" aspirational marketing for consumer devices.

I don’t know, I guess you can have different definition of PRO. Yours is more about a fleet of devices that’s easy to maintain for a corporation or a school.
Easy repairability is as important for freelancers as it is for larger businesses.

The anecdote that I was replying to seems to be about a freelancer (or at least a very small business - see "bought 3 or 4 machines over a period of a few years"), not someone maintaining a fleet of devices.

My definition of "pro" is just "uses device to make an income".
