I am very Interested in a good mobile Windows/Ryzen laptop with a MacBook Air-comparable form factor, performance, and battery life. Please link if you know of one.

But it's literally not true. I am typing this from my M1 MacBook with the bottom panel open just to prove this point.

For what it's worth I don't think Apple has actually ever done this, and whatever made him believe they do was probably some other oversight during their disassembly/reassembly of the laptop

Knowing what people employed in similar roles to you earn helps you bargain for an equivalent salary
