That depends, does what you want cause greater harm to society than the alternative? Does manufacturing less repairable devices cause more to be disposed of more quickly? Ideally with the environmental concerns we face, making what we already have last as long as reasonably possible is the least we can do.

This assumes that repairable devices on net cause less waste which may not be the case for smartphones. Lighter, waterproof, with no moving parts for battery swapping can lead to much longer lasting devices.
