Apple just can't resist making ridiculous margins from their customers, even when their devices do allow for upgrades to the default configuration.

For instance, with a Mac Pro, you have to pay an extra $800 to go from 64gb to 128gb of memory. For $800, you could get about 384gb of ram in 64gb sticks from a different vendor.
