Something went wrong with the 2019 models, because almost every time I hear someone complain about an intel MacBook it's a 2019 model.
I am still using my 2018 15" MacBook Pro, and it works great. About six months ago I brought it in to Apple because the keyboard backlight quit working. Turns out the battery swelled and damaged things. So they replaced everything, top case (with keyboard and trackpad), logic board, LCD display, and battery. I still have AppleCare so this was all done free of charge. Prior to that I had zero issues with the laptop in the 6 years I owned it.
Now my M1 Air has had a logic board failure, and the LCD cracked all within two years.
