Customers not being able to change out the SSD without a motherboard swap is utter manure. This sort of paternalism is why I stopped buying Macs.

Apple: We have released a patch for a serious problem we do not have.
Windows: We have released a patch that may cause serious problems.
Linux: Make your own d**n patch.

Can't easily replace RAM or the SSD. Why would anyone buy these macbooks????

First, there was no reporting issue. The data was written. The reporting was correct. The "Apple source" lied.
If it was a reporting issue in Smartctl what would there be for Apple to "fix" with an OS update? That would be for Smartctl to fix their reporting.

Second, it wasn't a handful of people. It affected every single M1 Mac I have seen. Sure, lots of people think they weren't affected, and they post a screenshot of smartctl saying "Look I'm still at 0%", while ignoring the 20TB that's been written to their ssd in the 3 months since they bought it, which is what you might expect from a 5 year old Intel Mac.

Third, 11.4 didn't fix it. It reduced it, by about half, but didn't fix it.
