I guess, but I've always felt apple deliberately thwarts such efforts for product lock in

Lol but like I said you also have to arbitrarily open the lid and place both airpods inside

Deliberately thwarting efforts would be not having a button.

There's a button. Like every other Bluetooth headphone case. Push the button.

Oh come now. In what scenario do you get handed an AirPods case and two loose AirPods and are expected to pair them? Is that what happened to your sister-in-law?
