I might just have misunderstood you because I thought we were talking about how Apple chose not to make their devices easy to repair? I don't see how making their devices easier to repair would have at all made them get more market share. I really don't think it affected it a statistically significant amount. If anything I'd argue their focus on making the phones more "stylish", at the expense of repairability, probably was beneficial for their market share. Also market share doesn't tell the whole picture since iOS users are known to be more willing to spend money so don't forget to factor that in. I do see how it might be good for them to consider making less in hardware if they are going to be more profitable by selling more services, but it's not as though iPhones are more expensive than Android phones as far as I know. I work for Google but opinions are my own.
