That's a valid objection. The question is whether preventing theft is a) a higher priority than let's say reducing prices and preventing electronic waste and b) whether prominance of smartphone theft hinges on the repairability of the devices. Or rather has just only professionalized the crime scene like with car theft. So while I think it's an intersting objection, I think it might miss the point.

His bio [1] may be a little dated though. 1 -- https://www.strangeparts.com/about/ https://www.strangeparts.com/about/
