This. People forget that those old macs were so long lasting because the disks were easily swappable with newer and faster SSDs so they could be upgraded and kept along for longer.
With the M* chips this lifehack will no longer be possible. Once the SSD storage fails, the entire motherboard is instant e-waste.
I think the 2015 generation of Macbooks will outlive the M1 generation from a HW pov. I still see people rocking the old Macbooks with the glowing Apple logo. I doubt the M series will see such longevity.
