Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever::Apple still sells expensive "Pro" computers with just 8GB of RAM and charges a fortune for more.

What’s the ethical alternative?

Don't fanboi over any one system/supplier/etc. Really all you can do. There's no perfect brand, OS, etc. There's better choices, but no clear winner.

It is not. There is no ethical alternative. There is no universally superior operating system. Make your own choices based on your own needs and don't listen to fanbois.

Eh, I like my work issued Ryzen 5000 Thinkpad more than I’d like to admit but the M series MacBooks are so much better it’s not funny. Everything you do on one is pretty much instant, the screen is gorgeous, it’s silent, and the battery lasts forever. The hardware is definitely several grades above the Lenovo.

The OS, you’re right, use what you like. Windows and macOS both have advantages and disadvantages.
