This excludes people from hacking and learning, eg children.

That's nostalgia talking, I think. I took apart a lot of things when I was a kid, too, and put most of them back together plus or minus a few screws--but I just learned everything there is to learn from taking apart this particular thing in five minutes over the internet, a thing vastly more hackable with vastly more to learn from that I would have gladly traded in my screwdriver for back then.

You have a good point there. But I respectfully suggest that you haven't learned everything there is to learn from a set of photos.
Well, you won't learn what happens when you short those two solder pads right there... and end up with a brick.
