Plastic cases flexing can damage the electronics inside hence most of the Apple stuff being metal.

It doesn't seem to cause problems for any other manufacturer. I'm using a plastic-cased Dell laptop as we speak.

If plastic cases bore any significant risk of damaging the electronics, someone would probably have noticed that by now.
