Is there more information about Steve Jobs actively being replaceable parts for business reasons? My impression is that it's one of the first things to compromise on for cleanliness, but there is not directly a design culture against it. The Powermac G4 seems like it was easy to service.
Of course it's very easy to imagine that bad serviceability is encouraged by some managers.

He didn't want anybody to be able to open a Mac and add memory, or a network card, or anything. Macs had Torx screws, back when nobody had Torx screwdrivers, and they needed have an unusually long shaft, or extension.
