I think it's being up-voted because it does add something to the discussion: continued prevalence. I think it is highlighting market dysfunction: the 2015 MacBook was superior, and currently there is no market alternative, purely because someone in a sufficiently powerful position was able to make a decision against the interests of their customers, and then stick to it. I have no doubt that the market will eventually correct itself (Ubuntu on a Razer Blade might well be my personal answer), but I think posts like this have a place in highlighting that we are still waiting for a solution and a major amount of pain and frustration is the result.
