I got you, the caveat is that a DIY battery replacement is going to be easier than say a Pixel 6 (no main board removal necessary.) and will still work.
Yes, their software locking of features (like TrueTone) and less availability of original parts is reprehensible, (luckily those are less critical functions for now but they wont stop there.) I won’t get battery health metrics but it’s about the tradeoffs you want. (See: Pixel Watches outright being considered unrepairable by Google. I’m not sure how easy it would to secure nearby battery service on a Pixel - but at least it’s available on iFixit for DIY…)

Because we’re all popping open the shell to repair our broken phones? Phones are like the least serviceable thing ever.

It’s the truth if they’re designed that way.
That fallacy is that they don’t have to be designed that way

OP was asking about the Fairphone. So opening it up to fix or replace something is clearly not off the table.
