As I love to repair things I would love to be able to change some parts of devices without the need to "crack" them open.

In general I think it is our comfortocracy that makes companies behave like this. I can't remember my friends changing only the battery of their phones when it was possible without problems.

As we do not want to spend time to repair things the companies won't produce things that can be repaired.

It's a pity how many devices go to waste just because the battery is broken. I not only mean smartphones.

What is a problem now is the following: We need such wasteful and unsustainable products to keep the economic growth, employment and taxes growing or the system collapses.
