The unreasonable part is that this does not seem to be necessary on literally any other laptop.

People just kept doing what they have been doing for years with their old laptops, but now their very expensive new laptop broke -> unreasonable.

Old plastic laptops were bendy, creaky and had very high tolerances, but people didn't quite like the downsides of that.

So Apple makes a metal machine with very low tolerances that feels super solid.

But breaks, so yeah "feels" is the keyword here.
