Is their keyboard replacement program valid for the new laptops and how long does it last?
I ask how long because my late 2013 MBP (granted, maxed out top of the line 15 inch) is still running like a complete champ and with how slow cpu/ram is increasing in power these days (mine has 4 cores/16GB ram and now 5 years later, you can only get 6 cores and 32GB of ram) I would expect a top of the line laptop to last a decade before recycling.
Laptop keyboards are not something you can easily/cheaply replace because if they fail, it totally screws over the "laptop" feature since now you need to pay to replace the entire keyboard or get an external one.
So no, laptop keyboards should have even higher standards for reliability these days and I haven't seen any commitment for these new ones.

There are many laptops with easily replaceable keyboards, this is just typical Apple being Apple.
Who cares? I don’t want to argue on the internet but either take your laptop to get the keyboard replaced for free or... don’t.
I don’t get the rage about all this. Life is too short to care about a MacBook keyboard problem this passionately. It works pretty well and feels great to type on: the end.
