We clearly have different values and priorities, and just to be clear, that's perfectly fine. I haven't considered "battery life" to be a bottleneck for about a decade, which is when all my devices started to be able to last me a whole day of work. Similarly, I only change device when I must, which most often equates to "when they die", so "resale value" doesn't matter to me (and in that regard, Apple takes themselves out of the selection pool due to poor repairability and no upgradeability). My devices are tools, I care that they help me do the task at hand while stepping as little as possible in the way.
