So long as you accept that if it's expected that only 1 in 10 people repair their airpods, this only helps if making them repairable results in less than a 10%

So long as you accept that if it's expected that only 1 in 10 people repair their airpods, this only helps if making them repairable results in less than a 10% increase in materials used, while not increasing failure rate at all. I can easily see how having a removable battery might increase failure rate in a product like this

This comments reads like you started out with a conclusion then worked backwards, filling in the holes without basis (e.g. replaceable batteries increase failure rates).
