Too many plastic enclosures are assemble-only, requiring destruction to disassemble.


The free market did a terrible job incentivizing disassembly... Can't count how many no-screw assemblies have triggered me.

The right-to-repair situation is a joke right now with automotive, consumer electronics, and appliances.


Assemblies with a lot of screws require manual labor, thereby increasing cost. I think what you actually mean is stuff that is specifically designed not to be serviced by being held together with glue, etc.
