I'm in an org with tens of thousands of Macs deployed. We've got through butterfly keyboard failures, screen ribbon issues, bloated batteries, and dead logic boards.
We've had some SSDs fail, but it's virtually unheard of. It's so rare, I can't recall a specific instance. I submit that failure rates within a Mac's usable lifetime is so rare that it's a non-issue.
That said, I'm always going to strongly want user-replaceable, modular components everywhere I possibly can. Barring that, I want cheap repair options (buying stuff like logic boards from Apple is obscenely priced.)
I also factor AppleCare+ into device cost, because forget buying a $2,000-3,000 Apple device without it.
