The whole analysis loses a lot of it's weight if one considers that since around 2010 companies actively focus on reducing(!) repairability. For the producer it's a desired feature. And the market doesn't seem to care that much. Yes, people complain, but then they still go and buy a new $1k smart phone every year or two. At least in a professional environment they do the same with their $1.5k Macbook Pros. Hell, some people buy a new one, because they don't like the stickers on top of their old one anymore.
