You have not lost your ability to replace your wifi card. The difference here is only monetary and the entire cost to you would be negated if the initial price was $100 cheaper. A year or two after your purchase, the price of laptops will have fallen enough that the cost of a laptop + an extra official wifi card is less than the cost of a laptop today. So I find your theory of harm quite dubious.

Yes, I have lost the ability to freely change the card.

[SamReidHughes]

You didn't lose it, you never had it. Lenovo exercised their freedom to make a laptop where you can't change the card.

So even if I'm born a slave, I haven't lost my freedom. Stop being ridiculous.
