your anecdote doesn't prove or disprove anything.
the most reliable test of durability is prices in the second-hand market. Apple laptops hold their value very well.

It proves or disproves as much as the op which said:
> MacBooks tend to last a long time. I used my 2012 Macbook Air for 7-8 years easily. It's still working today.
There are multiple things that are valuable, without that being a proof or durability.
Note that I am not saying Apple products "are" or "are not" durable. But if we talk about anecdotes then there are both ways. I would have liked to find some neutral, longer term analysis, but a fast internet search did not turn up anything that seemed relevant (only anecdotes and opinions).
