The glue has a legitimiate purpose. I wouldn't have had my phone for 5 years without it being water tight.

If third-party repair was common, consumers could decide if the advantages of having a phone glued together outweigh the advantages of a more repairable phone. My whole point was that the solution is not to force phones to be more repairable, but to stop manufacturers from strangling the repair industry and give consumers actual choice.
