Cameras are expected to have removable batteries, lenses, and memory, clearly all 3 go against brand.

They are also expected to last more than a decade, again against brand.

They are supposed to give a best effort capture of reality, again against brand.

They are supposed to be repairable, again against brand.

Eh my 2013 MBP is coming up on that and can still compile my work's app (albeit slowly and with a lot of fan noise). The rest is correct though.
