What does this mean, in practical terms?
If a circuit board you own burns out a capacitor, you can replace it: use a logic probe to isolate the problem, order the part on Mouser, reflow the board, hope for the best.
If you're saying everything sold to consumers should be serviceable by a person with no preexisting skills, using tools they already happen to have, I think that's completely unreasonable. Technology means specialization.

Baked-in motherboards are. Glued batteries are. The examples are countless. Ever tried to replace the battery to a pair of bluetooth earphones?
