I think that somewhere between 2006-2013 was something of a quality age for MacBooks.
The issues that came, like the keyboard, or lack of repair DIY ability coincided with the advent of the iPhone. The question at the moment is whether 2019 and 2020 is a quality age for MacBooks or not, and I don't know the answer to that, but it does appear like 2012 MacBooks are more resilient than 2019 ones.
I think a Frankenstein Dell XPS / MacBook is round about time now from some company X.
