I've always treated a laptop as essentially disposable - by which I mean that in no way do I rely on it to store my data. It's the device I use to manipulate data. Not only could it break, it could get stolen or damaged at any time. The bigger issue is that when the drive breaks, they are essentially unrepairable. The only option is getting Apple to swap out the motherboard with another one. On other devices, I'd just swap an M.2 drive. So it's more of a cost issue.
