Do you think Ive couldn't get the keyboard or the useless bar removed if he wanted?

  It's not like Apple has thousands of products. The entire executive team would be discussing the strategic direction for their products and the R&D investments needed e.g. TouchBar. But ultimately Apple is product marketing driven just like other large product companies. And people like thin devices (hence the keyboard) and shiny new features. What users think is far more important to Apple than what Ive thinks.

    > What users think is far more important to Apple than what Ive thinks. Then why do they keep soldering RAM onto their mobos when there's not a single person who wants it?

      Probably because there's effectively not a single person who explicitly _doesn't_ want their RAM soldered on to the mobo, and soldering on the RAM allows them to make the product thinner, which people _do_ want (or at least can be convinced they want through advertising). If the amount of extra people who will be convinced to buy a Mac because it's thinner outweighs the people who otherwise would have bought one but didn't because it has soldered-on ram, they're gonna do it.

      Because it is cheaper and 98% of the users don't think about it and don't care.
