Whoa Whoa Whoa ;-)
As somebody who has 9 ThinkPads around his house, including the controversial T25, don't forget Lenovo completely bought and owns all Thinkpad design production branding etc for the last decade.
Would IBM have maintained their priorities if they owned the product today? Not sure. But Applezation of the ThinkPads has happened strictly under Lenovo :-<
The P series is still pretty good; X1 was never about modularity but strict portability; it's the devolution of T series that bothers me personally the most - the T420s was barely thicker than modern T490, but had swappable battery and hard drive. Not "user replaceable", literally push a button and swap it out.
[Disclaimer: IBM employee, but in a completely unrelated part and a ThinkPad fan before my IBM employment; I work in software consulting on large ERP projects and haven't seen an IBM hardware person in my 15 years of service:]
