I'd be more willing to accept the security justifications for bad repair-ability if it didn't extend across their entire portfolio and to their authorized service providers. Why do AOSPs have to replace entire mainboards (CPU, memory and all) instead of individual components on the iMac?

I'd guess because it's manufactured and tested as a whole module, and because time costs more than replacement hardware.

For Apple maybe but for the users it turns a same day job into several days as the AOSP waits for the part to come in.
