Or you know, we could click a radio button on the shop website and be able to choose: reparable vs secure. But they didnt think about that one...

  They did, and they have written about that kind of choice. It’s a false choice. If you give it to people, they will be manipulated into choosing ‘repairable’.

    Users who choose to repair the products they own with the parts they want at the price they're willing to pay are not being "manipulated" into anything.

      They are if it is at the expense of security.

    Do you mean they did and people overwhelmingly chose repairable, so they invented a narrative to support the answer they wanted? I don't know anyone that would forgo having a repairable phone for the tiny bit of extra security it gets them.

      Right, because people overestimate the need for repairs, and underestimate the value of security. You can’t seriously think that most people do a good job of assessing cybersecurity risks accurately.
