Stephen Hackett made a keen observation in his (just superbly titled) blog post about Apple ending its butterfly keyboard repair program: ‘The Eeeend d of an Eraa’

It’s wild to think about how much about this generation of MacBook Pros has been erased from the product line. The Butterfly keyboard is gone, as is the Touch Bar. The Thunderbolt-only future that these machines promised didn’t pan out, and the current MacBook Pro design brought with it the return of MagSafe, HDMI, and even the SD card slot.

I hadn’t realized this, but he’s right.
