For MacBooks, 10 years is barely broken in. I’ve had MacBook Airs as daily drivers for well over 10 years.

Resale value is great on them too. I sold my 10 year old MBP (after I paid for an Apple cert battery replacement) for close to 50% of what I paid when it was brand new.

Good for you but who pays that much for that old hardware? While many computers run well beyond 10 years, it's hardly surprising if components break down after that time.

The answer is an emphatic “someone”. It’s a brand-name thing I’d imagine.
