Surely risking to sound just like one (not a fan, btw, just watched a couple of videos) but I think his opinion of Apple in terms of hadware quality and attitude towards customers in need of service has more merit than most people's - given that he's dealing with it all day, every day.
On top of the quality getting worse, so has the repairability too - but not only that - customer's ability to have the device repaired anywhere else except by Apple directly (difficulty for independent repair businesses to order parts, obtain service manuals, renew licences etc...) has taken a big hit in the last few years. And Apple's suggested course of action has increasingly been very costly replacements of half of the laptop for even the smallest issues...
Since it's hard to spread that to the broader public, and people notoriously love to see other people ranting and throwing rocks at stuff, he seems to have taken that approach - and earn some additional money from YT along the way...So, yeah, partially agree with you, but I think the intentions are more good than bad, and more people need to be talking about it in any case, if something is to be improved.
