Relevant quote:

Frore had to painstakingly mill 0.3mm out of the laptop’s lid to give the AirJets a big enough air gap to do their thing, and the company wound up removing the speakers, Wi-Fi antenna, and even the Mac’s internal keyboard connector along the way.

I wonder if they would have had an easier time just sanding and polishing 0.3mm away instead of milling

Milling a slot out of a piece of aluminum is not that difficult. It also has a lot lower chance of fucking up a perfectly good notebook part.
