This was my first thought too.

Not everything you personally dislike needs to be illegal.

MacBooks are great as long as you have the money. OP could keep looking for 3rd party repairs, etc.

I'm having a hard time seeing why making stuff more difficult to repair just so that people are incentivized to throw it away and buy a new one, should not be illegal. If not for the anti-customer attitude, at least for the amount of waste and environmental destruction it results in.
