The costs are less long term as an owner but owners are also responsible for repairs. As a renter you only need to cover monthly rent.

And as you noted not everyone wants to be or will be in a single place for long.

There are many costs and processes involved with owning. Not everyone wants to own or is going to be in a place long enough where it makes sense to own. Getting rid of all landlords introduces its own problems.

You just make completely baseless assumptions and then keep on going. Your statements are entirely divorced from reality. Plus you are a massive asshole on top of that.

I’m sure I will overlook the shit show time sink they represent for me to give your experience precedence over mine

That isn’t a gross overreaction at all. You seem like a delight to be around.

You may not like it but Apple’s choices produce performant hardware and their laptops have had better battery life than other HW for what feels like well more than a decade. It could very well be harder to repair but I’ve had a ton of Mac’s and none have required repair.
