I'd prefer a system that was a bit more durable and also put the consumables in a place where they were easily accessed.

If you care about maintainability, you're just not the market Macbooks are optimized for.

While most brand-new laptops have unfortunately dropped externally removable batteries altogether, you can still find plenty that have internal user-replaceable ones.

At home I have a work-provided Dell Latitude, a Thinkpad T470 my SO uses and my own Thinkpad T490. Very happy with all of them 'cept mine has a shitty screen that I'm going to replace at some point.
