Market forces are driving companies to make more and more highly integrated, glued together macbook clones because consumers demand them. Or at least manufacturers think they do.

Maybe it's time for a class of repairable laptops/desktops, similar to what Intel did with their "Ultrabook" branding a decade ago. Call it an ecobook, and require upgradable storage, RAM, and access to replacement parts for 10 years. Something that lets companies say "this is thicker than a macbook, but not because it's worse".

And then manufacturers will have to not only explain why its thicker, they also have to explain why its heavier, hotter, louder, slower and with worse battery life…
