Well, I dunno, but that's a question with every law, and thus not exactly an argument by itself?

But why would there need to be micro-management?

Because whether or not something could have been designed and made differently is a difficult, subjective, decision.

We're not talking about the need to have cops decide whether 71MPH was too fast or not. We're talking about whether your customers would hypothetically have been as satisfied with an iphone that was 1mm thicker, because if they would, there's a law which says you have to make it repairable. Bring your expert witnesses and panel surveys to convince the jury.
