    I don’t get the surprise… Apple has ALWAYS been like this. They don’t want “normies” screwing around with “their” gear.

    Heck, you needed a case cracker tool to open the OG Macintosh machines, they were specifically engineered to keep people out.

      True but the Mac G4, especially, was an absolute dream to work on. So I don’t agree they remained this way.
