> To What, though?

That's not the right way to think of this. The point is to send a strong message to Apple that this is not cool. Just as people didn't buy MacBooks without Esc keys, or bad butterfly mechanisms.

The MacBook itself got popular because the most technically knowledgeable people used them, got their families to use them, and was seen using them.

As Apple sees their numbers, they will put 1+1 together and decide that it's not worth it for them--they're a company out to make profits. It doesn't matter how much people complain if they keep buying. This makes a better Apple, and we can then again purchase the Apple products that live up to our standards. If we say, it sucks but it's better than the other one, this is a downward slope with no recovery.
