Not modern fridges.

That trend has become ubiquitous: cars, laptops, phones...

Nothing is designed to be fixed at home anymore. If there were regulations that required it, we'd still have the same advanced tech, but it'd be repair friendly.

For example HP Elitebooks ond Dell business class laptops have most parts replaceable and the keyboard is secured by screws.

HP Pavilion gaming, ASUS ROG Strix and newer Macbooks have keyboards secured by melting topcase plastic pins or bolts so you can't easily replace keyboard, you need to replace the whole topcase.

And the keyboard is something which degrades by use and can easily be damaged by liquid...
