>you're making a decision that the maintenance burden you're trying to avoid is more important than the environmental impact of users disposing of & buying hardware. Companies don't care for the "environmental impact". When they pretend to, it's a token gesture to make certain customer demographics feel good. At best they will sacrifice a slither of their margins, but if there's a conflict between environmental impact and any bigger slice of their profit, they'll go for profit anytime. >Which... maybe it is; who am I to suggest different priorities for other people Environmental impact is about the commons, so it shouldn't be just about whatever personal priorities each has.
