      This benefits companies too. A healthy population not poisoned by pollution is required to hire workers. Repairable devices save money for businesses as well.

        Except many are blinded by “shareholder value”. If they follow Apple’s footsteps of unrepairable devices for a rabid fanbase, they can boast to shareholders, that they’re selling more units. Did know an Apple fan like that, his solution for the lack of repairability was jUSt Don’T bE a GorILla, even remembered making a meme about that back in the days. He was a big pusher of hardware enshittification, wanting devices to be thinner and thinner, and bullied anyone owning “e-waste” phones and computers, and of course he made an infographic about why most people would be fine with wireless headphones.
