Some mac users seem to be cursed with bad hardware. It seems to be black and white: users either have no problems, or ALL the problems. I started to get "the curse" after 8 years with my 2012 MBP. It started randomly turning off. Not crashing, just turning off! I replaced the battery because that was the only warning I was getting. But it can no longer run any macOS. Even mavericks. It crashes randomly. It went from rock solid to fragile as an elderly lady with osteoporosis rollerskating on a cobblestone path. Now it is my primary Ubuntu machine since the touchpad works so much batter than Ubuntu running on my Lenovo Yoga and it has better performance. Zero turning off problems. It's been on for months running a VNC server.
