Apple has been doing this with the MacBook Pro since 2012, no? The biggest consternation is the battery replacement cost. It's expensive, and you're guaranteed to need it if you plan on keeping the machine for a while. I know, I have a 2012 MacBook Pro and trust me, the battery does not make it 12 years and it's several hundred dollars to replace. Would I buy the machine again? Absolutely!
