That's why we have regulation, where there is a mandatory 2 year warranty on electronic devices in EU. Also cars need to have dozens of systems that are not really needed to drive the car itself, but help with safety (eg, ABS brakes, etc.)
Just add a few lines to the regulations about schematics, individual spare parts to component levels, no blocking sales by manufacturers, and we're a step closer to a greener world.
The USB-C regulation should also include user-replacable batteries (or at least something that doesn't need additional parts (eg. glue) to reassemble, since the battery is guaranteed to fail with time, even if the rest of the phone survives.
