I personally don't care much about $ but many probably are. I care that the manufacturers don't work with user orientation in mind and instead take advantage of them. I don't want to be a customer here. Replacement parts are possible and we maybe need regulation on that front to reduce waste. I doesn't matter if other devices are worse.

Other example have a longer shelf life or are at least repairable without being tied to a manufacturer. Notebooks have similar problems and the critique can be transferred here in a similar way. I see synergies in possible rules here of course.
