"Governments being called on to do something for the people they represent, shocker!"

That's what governments are for, to do stuff the people want but can't do individually.

People should have rights. Governments should not be allowed to tell people what to do, as long as they’re not harming others.

In my book, allowing you to buy a device without replaceable batteries, a choice that you made freely yourself, is not causing harm.

Saying that “people want it” is not good enough. The majority may also want to silence the minority. That’s why we have rights.
