The market assigns almost no value to these tenets, nor do the consumers participating in it.

Yup, Apple user since 2001, desktop and laptop, 20ish years in an office environment used for 8+ hours a day, now 5 years retired. Total faults - zero. Desire to upgrade RAM before rest of machine needed updates (eg storage+CPU+screen) - zero. Dissatisfaction with "Apple model": zero.
But... lately I've felt a hankering to run Linux as a first-class citizen rather than a VM and that's definitely a gap in Mac functionality. I wouldn't sacrifice the five years I enjoy MacOS on my machines for the ability to then move them to Linux, but it would still be nice.
Your assertion seems to be trivially proven false, given that Framework still exists as a going concern.
Though I suppose what you say is perhaps still true, if you allow "almost" to do a lot of work.
