There's always a tendency for technical folks to think that their world view is the view of most people and I submit that's not the case. I mean reality shows that people choose price and functionality over repair-ability.
There seems no rationale to me that would make me sacrifice all of the qualities that makes consumer electronics desirable - affordability, availability, functionality.
It seems mutually exclusive to rapid production of consumer goods.
