Has Apple fixed their dying keyboards? This is the only major flaw I've encountered with Macbooks. I've had it happen twice with my Intel Macbook Pro from 2015 and now for the first time with my M1 Macbook Air from 2020. It's that issue where keys start to die, and it seems to usually start with the R key and progressively gets worse with more keys dying. It's an issue Louis Rossmann has mentioned in the past, so I know it's not just me.
The reason I'm asking is that, given the upcoming M2 Macbook Air, I'm debating whether to have someone swap out the keyboard for my M1 or just go ahead and upgrade to M2. But if the keyboard on my M2 is going to start dying in a couple years no matter how well I take care of it then I'll pass and go with the repair instead.

Fixed what keyboard issue? Clearly, GP is experiencing an issue across these generations. You can add my anecdata to that as well: intermittently cruchy/blocked keystrokes on my 2020 M1 MBA, exactly like my old ~2016-2018 MBPs.
