Tell that to the people buying Telsas since 8/24 that have HW4.1.

Do you have a tldr or some link I could read to know what you mean? Is this hardware braking a lot from factory so that it already needs repairing less than 6 months later? If so that seems like a warranty issue more than a repairability issue (although I’m sure it could turn into one). Or do you mean that this hardware prevents repair in some way that will be a problem once it starts breaking?

There are a lot of articles recently.

“most driver assistance features are disabled, including rearview cameras, forward collision warning and blind spot warning, GPS navigation, and range estimations”

thanks. Sounds much more like a warranty / manufacturing quality issue rather than a repairability issue at this point. Although if Tesla somehow prevented parts from a donor vehicle from being used in a different vehicle then I would call that a repairability issue.
