Apple MacBook Pro Wifi issues

A good friend of mine has a MacBook Pro from late 2016, as soon as he plugs in something that utilises usb 3.2 on one of the 4 USB-C Ports, his 2,4 GHz connection drops because the USB-bus uses the same frequency. 
He wanted to returned it but apple refused and now he would have to sue them to get his Money back. 
Whats your opinion, is apple right that this doesnt pose a problem big enough to refund the price or is it poor design choice and they should have known better?

Maybe you should tell Louis Rossmann about this, he's always ready to make a video about Apple's product flaws.

I have a 2016 Macbook Pro 15 inch and occasionally get the same issue. I don't find it enough to warrant a refund/return as for it only occurs with one of my 4 ports (I think it's the top left one). So in this case, I will side with Apple's decision.

He already has made a video about this.

Your friend could either buy a apple adapter or use 5ghz wifi, you wont get anywhere with apple in court so suing them would be worthless
