Personally, I think "designed to fail" is a downright false charge, and "repairability" is a trickier trade-off than repair advocates make it out to be ...

Somebody should tell the UK Parliament, they need some feedback and Apple cannot spare anybody to clear up this "downright false charge" :

I don't see "designed to fail" or any corresponding language on that page.

There is concern about repairability there. I seem to recall that the UK was a member of a trans-national organization that recently passed tougher repairability legislation, and quit that organization to be rid of all that burdensome regulation.

For the life of me, I can't understand why Apple wouldn't take the UK seriously…

Failing to enhance the operating life of the products (or failing to talk about it to a parliamentary commission) != designing such products to fail.
