Because the airpod is a small device, this is true. However in general I believe open source hardware and infinitely repairable devices across the board would lead to less waste than proprietary technology with restricted repair.

My vision is not that one person designs open source headphones. My vision is that the primary suppliers of consumer products make their products open source. That would be a very different world, but I argue that it would be one with significantly less material waste.

In such a world, headphones would be both well designed and infinitely repairable.

By the way I have a new design that is more attractive. https://twitter.com/TLAlexander/status/1403968653406597122
