What MacBook is it? If you don't have the insane butterfly switches single keys are pretty repairable now.

My MacBook Pro M1 keyboard repair costed >700€, this is not a butterfly keyboard. So also new models have an expensive keyboard replacement.

My previous MacBook Pro keyboard was a butterfly keyboard and also broke, but got replaced for free. I don’t feel I am a heavy user as the MacBook Pro is mostly connected to an external keyboard and am pretty annoyed by apples keyboard quality (based on my sample size of 2).

ifixit sells just the keyboards, why doesn't that work? https://www.ifixit.com/products/macbook-pro-14-a2442-a2779-a...

The article is ten paragraphs (two of which are four words or shorter). The entire sixth paragraph is dedicated to answering that question.

This isn't an issue with macbook keyboards, a lot of windows laptops have their keyboards riveted to the C cover of a laptop.

isn't an issue ONLY with macbook keyboards. It is absolutely an issue that shouldn't exist.

Framework Laptop + some form of Linux - MacOS keeps getting worse and the hardware exceeding hard and expensive to repair.

If they would have sprung for the AMD395+ in the latop @ 128GB, you'd have a fair comparison for AI compute.
