Sure, but this is a Louis Rossman quote. if you follow his channel he delves into what othe companies do also, but Apple is going above an beyond to make it so you can't get your product repaired. Even a tiny switch to know if lid is open or closed can't be changed because it will stop the device from booting, or if it is just a tiny ribbon cable apple will tell you it is not repairable and have to buy a new device. He is a right to repair advocate, not a bash apple ignore android manufacturers. Anyway there is GrapheneOS for "Android" phones. You can kiss google goodbye and get 5 years OS updates with Graphene
