The "debris gumming up the keys" issue with the MacBook butterfly keyboard is certainly annoying. But there's a pretty easy fix in my experience: a few strategically delivered bursts from an air duster will clean them out nicely.
Apple even provides a guide on how to do it:

- always_good 9y agoThe bigger issue is the loosening of the C-clamps due to this inevitable wear that makes the keys come right off. Also, this happened to me inside of four months with the computer. I didn't have to air-can my previous Macbook Air for the four years I had it.

To think that they're recommending that and some people are accepting that as a real solution makes me think the Reality Distortion Field is alive and well. Now contrast that to laptops with drain holes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7cvi00OZDM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7cvi00OZDM
