That's a bit unfair when not including a fan for the ~same price point is a pretty harsh anti-consumer move I think.

err you pay to NOT have to listen to a fan

you pay for the right to feel smug and get thermal throttled if you open up too many chrome tabs.

smug, me? I am a SWE with a MBA and I never get thermal throttled. What am I doing wrong?

Then why is the fanless model, the Air, the cheapest laptop Apple is selling?

I happily pay extra for an MBA (vs an equivalent pc) because there is no fan noise
