Everything Apple sells in its “Macintosh” range is effectively a laptop

Yeah, so?
 
Over 80% of the total PC market today are laptops.
 
The old school paradigm of getting elbows-deep into component upgrades

Maybe not. Found this article
<https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/intel-proposes-easily-repairable-and-sustainable-modular-pc-design-for-laptops-and-mini-pcs>
indicating a trend in the opposite direction, where Intel wants to
break a laptop motherboard into three separate main pieces, to allow
easier replacement/repair/upgrading.

Note also that the Framework company has been doing this sort of thing
with its laptops for years.
