Apple making a proprietary pinout for NVME is what will keep me from ever giving them money.

It’s not like Apple uses a different controller, or that they invented a different communication standard. They just put the same communication pins from the same controller on a different physical connector, and charge you 10x for the replacement part. It’s why boards like this can work at all:

If Apple wasn’t using standard NVMe controller communication protocols and controllers, these adapter boards wouldn’t work at all.
