You are right, but then let's make it mandatory for the end user to safely recycle all the components from their devices; they should not be allowed to sale or donate old devices, but have to recycle every piece of it. The purpose? Safe disposal. If you don't want to extend the life of the devices, keep it forever or safely dispose it.

Modern landfills are safe disposal sites. Recycling can be economically incentivized where it makes sense.

Make -> consume -> put in landfill is not a sustainable process.

Yes it is. In the distant future, we can mine landfills for raw materials.

No, I am against leaving to others to solve the problems we create.
