I agree with your point, but the % weight might need adjustment. For example, a PCB the size of an iPhone 13 (146x71mm) [0], weighs maybe 40.61g [1]. The PCB in an iPhone is approx .25 of the surface area [2]. The result is right at 5% of the weight of an iPhone 13.
(40.61*.25)/204 = 0.05

- somethoughts 5y agoYes upon further reflection perhaps its more a rule of thumb than getting to specific weight ratio. Its mostly for manufacturers where the appliances were historically non internet connected (i.e. microwave, fridge) and much of the functionality is not internet related versus a tablet whose sole purpose is connectedness. Its mostly about providing support for a "non-interconnected" UX mode which doesn't bug to create an account with the manufacturers website or even more frustratingly bug you constantly about being unable to access the manufacturer's cloud servers which are no longer being maintained by the manufacturer themselves. And the point of it is perhaps less of a "there should be regulation" and more of a - as an end consumer - might as well post this on a forum where there are likely consumer electronics product managers for said devices viewing comments and getting some gears and mind shifts going.
