Saying "we shouldn't legislate repairablity because <other bad practice that needs to be legislated away>" is not terribly convincing. There should 100% be legislation aimed at keeping old phones able to run newer software.

We shouldn’t legislate repairability at the expense of reliability. The only people that benefits are repair shops.

That should be up to the user to choose, as it is now.

Yea like those famously unreliable Nokia phones with their replaceable batteries
