Apple doesn't sell one for any price, so if you want Apple hardware, that's what you get. They objectively make the best laptop hardware package unless you value upgradeability over performance or build quality, which most people also very objectively don't.
Removable SSDs aren't just for upgradability but for repairability. To ensure your shiny expensive laptop doesn't become e-waste the minute your SSD NAND (which is a wearable part) inevitably dies.
I agree 100%, I'm just saying if you want Apple, you can't have that regardless how much you're willing to pay (though if you paid them $10B they'd probably bend and design it this way, everybody has a number.)
