It's good argument, but maybe they are saying that most, (or maybe "some"), people would be fine with a repair that is understood to have drawbacks where usable lifespan is concerned? Maybe it's like a car? You can get the mechanical issue really fixed, or you can have a less expensive repair. Most people understand almost immediately that there is going to be a drawback if you select the less expensive repair.

Or maybe very few people, who knows? Shouldn't the number be quantified before we assume what people want? > You can get the mechanical issue really fixed, or you can have a less expensive repair. Does it qualify as a repair if it's not actually a repair? I'd imagine the same people who are happy with these kind of repairs with Apple would be the same ones to complain about planned obsolescence...
