How have we all just leaned into and accepted bad quality? And I’m not talking about the fact that most of us listen to MP3s instead of CD lossless or even vinyl, or that people would rather watch a movie on the ugliest digital nonsense platform through some crappy old PC monitor—that looks worse than the worst VHS porno you found in a bush that time.  nice sort of unexpected, personalizing detail.

I’m talking about how is the old MacBook pro keyboard, which cost a mere 1400 bucks in 2018, better than the new 2024 MacBook pro keyboard that costs $2099? How did that happen?
hey you,

I would posit that making the penultima sentence a statement rather than a question would be better.  You would only have to move the 'is' after the predicate, ie 'is better'.  Leaving it as a question, IMO, makes the last sentence implicit and lessens the punch.  That is too explicit.  And since I'm here, is it really about the keyboard or is that some sort of vernacular for computer in general?
Tootles,

You are probably correct. I will see how it looks the other way. Thanks.

Also, it is not about computer keyboards. But I did get the idea from spending thousands of money on a new MacBook only to find the keyboard wasn't as good as the old one. It's a metaphor.
