Anecdotally, I’ve either bought Macs for my business or contracted with companies providing Macs since 2006 and until the current crop of MacBook Pros I’ve heard of very few issues and even fewer that weren’t fixed quickly under warrantee. My only issue was a faulty power supply on my 1,1 MacBook Pro and it was fixed, for free, after the warrantee had expired. But that’s anecdotes for you, not worth very much compared to actual stats. I’ve heard more than a few stories from people about how they’ve repaired their own Thinkpad. When I hear them though I just think, your laptop failed and you had to repair it yourself. My current MacBook Pro is a late 2013 model, it seems as good as the day I bought it bar a few scratches. I don’t want my laptop be easily repairable, I _need_ it have a bathtub graph of reliability and not go wrong in the first place. As a counter point I know two people with emoji bar MacBook Pros and both had issues with dust in the keyboard so I haven’t upgraded.
