Why did this fad fail after only a few years yet the Macbook (non-"Pro") is basically an overpriced netbook which is still being sold?

Because you’re kind of a dumbfuck who doesn’t understand tech.

because they were useless and slow shit for a simple user. Modern MacBook allows you to at least use Facebook.

Modern Macbook has a slow but useable CPU, a slow but capable GPU, relatively fast and plenty of RAM and solid state storage.
Netbooks had a slow and shitty CPU, their GPUs couldn't even decode HD video (They need aditional cards to do that) they didn't had enough RAM and they used spinning hard drives.
Even Windows XP feel slow in these pieces of shit.

Because Microsoft forced netbook makers to put wiendows instead of keep using lightweight linux distro suitable for the hardware

Shitty screen resolution.
Celeron housefire cooled by sheet metal
(Asus EEEPC 700)
Or Atom housefire, which provides no chooch.
Macbooks at least had faster housefire CPU.

To be fair, Windows XP worked snappy on EEEPC, I could even watch jewtube, since flash was lightweight, compared to jshit

It was a marketing gimmick, the drive in them was embarrasingly slow, slower than a HDD. More like a memory card than anything. RPi-tier slow. People used to make adapter cards so they could add CF cards and even these were faster.
