This is obviously a serious issue, perhaps with manufacturing or a batch or two in the supply chain.
Thankfully my M1 Air has been fine (aside from one fully dead pixel from day one), and it has traveled around the world with me.
Apple should take responsibility for this, but for this current risk and possible owner-fault risks, I do find AppleCare+ worth it. There's almost no repair that can be done which would cost less than the plus warranty costs, so it's a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.
