none of those have anything particular to do with the T2 chip and if the TPM in your windows laptop got clobbered you'd still lose all your data anyway. The physical shape of the SSD is irrelevant in that scenario since you lost the key to decrypt it regardless.

again, yes, I know rossman doesn't like apple laptops but this has nothing to do with the T2 chip being some hidden landmine or defect. People just aren't used to the idea of the TPM being a thing that controls their data integrity.

One if the issues is the t2 failing and dumping 13v into the SSD , destroying it. Nothing to do with fear of TPM.
