There's never been any proof that scissor switch keys are "more reliable" than butterfly switch.
Butterfly keyboards are not reliable and have had to have replacement programs on every model. Scissor switch existed for decades without such a program.

Apple Is burning millions of dollars on the replacement program; $700 for every keyboard replaced. That is the proof any logical person needs.
