Partnering to make repair parts available is a good step but modern phone design makes accessing the phones internals very difficult. I had a Moto X4 that suddenly stopped turning on or pulling charge when plugged in. I suspected the battery so I went to pull the phone apart. Here's ifixit's guide to replacing the battery on a Moto X [0]. Modern phones don't have screws, they use clips and glue. Waterproofing adhesive is popular on waterproof phones, maybe there isn't another way to seal a phone, but that just looking at a phones internals will break the water proofing. The battery on a Moto X is accessed from the screen side, removing the screen requires a heat gun, cutting and prying on a fragile screen.
