Is this a take in regards to soldering in new flash chips or replacing a board and then needing to wrestle Apple support during an RMA to replace a faulty component (because I quiet confidently believe, Apple will cross check your hardware with their records from the serial number).
And I don't believe regular PC manufacturers/OEMs are that hard to argue with if I insert my own SSD.

It’s pretty easy
And how much does Apple like that?
Fuck em
Doesnt work during an RMA.
After that: Yeah, sure.
You could always just swap the original part back in if you need to do an RMA.
