I've used MacBooks for work for the last half decade, the entire generation of MacBooks manufacturered around 2016 until the M1 were released were entirely what you're claiming some poorly manufactured phones were. My MacBook's battery grew so much it busted the case open, and the touch bar constantly malfunctioned from the day I got it. So, it ain't all roses as far as quality from Apple either unlike what you're saying.
Oh, and another thing is that while they might not be the worst quality, they are often by far the highest priced items in their category. So, yeah Acers probably break more frequently but they're like $300 while (like the video states) you'll be spending $700 for locking wheels for a fucking Apple.
For the price they charge, they ought to be the longest lasting, best electronics ever made. But they are definitely not.
