I don't think that's what he wrote, is sounds a lot more like that non-Apple repairability getting harder is simply a side product.

Apple doesn't really win or lose much with the home repair market, and as mad as some people get over that, the numbers aren't lying.

"is sounds a lot more like that non-Apple repairability getting harder is simply a side product."

Yes, that was what I understood. What I'm saying is that it's hard to assert that "no one wanted iPhones to be harder to service" when they've intentionally made the decision to make iPhones harder to service. Yes, making them harder to service was not the primary goal, but they chose to do it in order to achieve a different goal -- therefore they wanted iPhones to be harder to service.
