You have not refuted my arguments.

I don't need to. I will buy the parts and replace them for people like you when you guys need it. The helplessness of the many keeps me employed. Carry on soldier.

Phone repair shops are only restrictedly available during, for example, a pandemic. Also, it takes much more time, while a replacement by hand is just a trivial and done in a minute. And there have been reports of repair shops violating user privacy.

With non-replaceable batteries, phone manufacturers have an iron grip on repairability. Soon, replacements will become so difficult that only the manufacturer can do it without breaking other parts.

In laptops, non-replaceable batteries make hot swapping of the battery for uninterrupted operation impossible.

Only a blanket ban on non-replaceable batteries will prevent this technological degeneracy.

Like I said, go read that article.

Nevertheless, you are in favour of planned obsolescence and difficult repairability, which is hostile against consumers.

Yeah then whatever I am all for it. People are too stupid and PAY ME SHECKLES to fix them. Its a livelihood. Are you really dumb enough to suggest I cut off my nose to spite my face? Silly.
