Since the functionality out of the box is more than enough for 90% of the users, it makes perfect sense for both Apple and the users.

Non-seamless built computers with visible or intuitively hidden screws - macs don't have these - make it a bit easier to do when access to the Internet has been taken away.

Then you go to the library.

The Macbook pro 17" was fairly popular as well and Apple ditched it.

Apple already stated that a new Mac Pro is coming in 2013, and warned users that it wouldn't be sold after the 1st of March. This is unique since they never announce hardware before release, so they are aware of the problem. In fact, I would be *very* surprised if it isn't launched at their annual developer conference in 3 days. Since you can still get the Mac Pro at some resellers, it still isn't really a problem.
And I'd be surprised if the 17" MBP sold much, since they canned it.
