Not sure why you were being downvoted. That was iFixit's final repairability score. Their summary...

Pluses:

The trackpad can still be removed and replaced with very little drama.

Minuses

Minor components are modular, but the processor, RAM, and flash memory are soldered to the logic board.

Glue and/or rivets secure the keyboard, battery, speakers, and Touch Bar, making those components a tricky fix.

The Touch ID sensor is the power switch and is locked to the logic board, greatly complicating repairs.

HN is not without it's fanboys.

Or it could just be that it was presented as a fact with no surround discussion? No HN value-add, as it were.

The facts were in the article, OP was just highlighting an interesting part of the article.
