I can't believe that Apple would do this. It's so not like them to cripple great machines with one horrendous bottleneck. Like could you imagine if they released an iMac in 2020 that they sold until the release of the M1 iMac that had a 1TB hard drive in it as a boot device? That'd be insane.

Hah, I just wrote a comment about how they used to ship computers back in the 90's that had resistors in them to make them slower, so they could sell cheaper "budget" versions of their faster computer models.

This is a prime example of how capitalism "innovates".
