And that's why we have to intervene directly with them and force them to stop. Simple as that.
Also no one is forcing them to build the products in a way they don't like. Only availability on documentation, and stop themselves on hijacking parts availability.
I don't think it's "insane" to solder parts to make computers thinner and smaller. I actuallly LIKE it. I don't want to carry a 2kg notebook with me everywhere. I threw through the window a Dell laptop for that reason, just with three months of usage. And please don't try to push your useless left wing/comunist politics to me. They have the right to build the product with whatever they want, and how they want. There are many other brands from whom you can buy. There are options to build your own. Accept that or go home.

My problem with RtoR is with people trying to change how they build their computers to make them "more serviceable". This will lower the quality of these computers for me. And I do not want that. I do not want to return to 2kg laptops to carry with me.
My problem with RtoR is with 3rd party repair shops providing a sh*t, poor service without being certified/trained for that, and damaging even more something that should be fixed. Or stealing parts to sell. 3rd party shops aren't trustworthy.
Also, when a guy attemps to repair it by himself, and fails, who takes the blame or pay for it? Not the manufacturer, nope. What if the battery explodes when he attempts to do so, and he dies? Who takes the blame for it? Certainly his family will try to sue the manufacturer for that. And they will lose because it was fully the responsibility of the guy when he attempted to fix it, not the manufacturer. Doesn't matter if he was doing it by himself or if he was working as a 3rd party technician, without being certified/trained for that.
