Yes, I think that’s fair. From my perspective, they’re making the right tradeoffs—I personally value size, waterproofing, and cost more than repairability. I might feel differently if Apple wasn’t essentially giving away battery replacement service for free, or if I had to replace my battery more often. But as it is, my phones last me years and years with just one battery replacement and no other service needed during their lifetime. Making that once-in-a-phone’s-lifetime replacement easier at the cost of other capabilities doesn’t make sense to me.
