This product would make more sense if they defined "consumer" as "engineer-inclined consumer". Swapping parts will drive the everyday consumer away from this product.

No? This opens up an entire repair market for normal consumers as well. Instead of buying a whole new laptop, you can replace the screen, or the keyboard, or etc etc.

Just because you won't be doing the repair yourself doesn't mean "welp, repairable laptops are dumb and only nerds will use them!" Just means you don't have to buy a new laptop every time one little thing breaks.
