I just inherited a 2009 MacBook 13" Pro from a family member. It has 2 gb of ram and a hard drive, which I plan to upgrade for about 50$. Note that it is trivial to upgrade these things. Even without these upgrades it works fine. I have a 2013 MacBook Pro that I bought refurbished during undergrad that has been the best computer that I've ever had. I prefer both to my work computer, a Touch Bar 13" MacBook Pro. In fact I suspect the 2009 will become my daily driver soon. Making a solid computer that lasts over a decade doesn't erode Apples profits- in fact I suspect this opposite is true. It is the same reason Toyota is the biggest auto mfg there is. Imagine if the newest Camry was unreliable or something.
