Sure, you are also entitled for an opinion! We simply have different expectations and that’s O.K.

And as for repairability, it’s subjective. I have a soldering iron and my dexterity is not bad at all, therefore many things deemed hard to repair by some are easy for me. I bet there are people who are much better than me and have better equipment, so let’s not pretend that there’s an universal repairability score or something like that.

I wasn't arguing about your opinion on repairability, I was arguing about you stating that ifixit shouldn't defends my case.

And ifixit does a pretty good job explaining their scoring and show how something is more repairable than others.

There's no universal score, but there's definitely things that make repairability easier or harder, tools or no tools.
