All these comments explaining that you can't have an SSD that's not permanently locked to the secure enclave on the Logic Board™ because of "security".
Which means that a customer really needs a backup... Which by definition can't be locked to the motherboard. SMH.
Apple™ apologists come up with any justification, no matter how implausible, for Apple™'s user-hostile self-serving design choices.
I guess it's just a happy coincidence that then they can charge customers for using their Cloud as a backup, because they've removed any autonomy that the customer might have had otherwise.
One button saying, "set your own recovery password", and one 20c connector, and then any customer or lowly genius bar™ Logic Board™ replacement drone could easily transplant the drive into another PC when the self destructing crap Apple™-designed Logic board™ with tiny inadequate heatsink or secure enclave™ linked touchbar or dust-powered exploding keyboard switch or whatever other obvious self destruct mechanism they've designed in inevitably kicks the bucket.
The cherry on the shit sundae is that they would still get to sell another mac to the lucky 𝚟̶𝚒̶𝚌̶𝚝̶𝚒̶𝚖̶ customer, so there is no advantage to them in preventing this.
Apple™ just doing asshole things because Apple™.
It's like the story of the scorpion and the frog [1]. "I couldn't help it. It's in my nature."
