Yes, from a user perspective I would like more repairable hardware. I also see that developing hardware is hard. These things are complex and any modification could cost thousands of dollars. It's not black and white.

Most user doesn't care about repairability. I don't see a lot of people buy the Fairphone. They complain about John Deere but don't look for alternatives. They always chose the cheaper alternatives.

If we could somehow separate the development cost and the manufacturing cost, we could get super repairable hardware. Just like with OSS. If someone sponsors the development the product is great otherwise commercial software wins.
