Wow, are we recursing? Yes of course it's Apple's fault. Apple could allow to remove the phone locking mechanism on the condition to fully erase data on the phone. That would make their phones suitable for second-hand market and as a consequence more eco-friendly.
But they have decided to go against right to repair and against basic principles of ecology. Just as they have, in other fields, decided to go against basic principles of interoperability (Micro-USB/USB-C charger? Jack plug? Standard screws? who needs that, right?).
So yes Apple is harming users and is harming the environment. No amount of greenwashing can undo that.
