I think you are projecting your interests onto the population at large, planned obsolescence of phones is not really a major concern for most people.

And if you are starting out by asking people to accept a poorer lifestyle because it will be sustainable and repairable, you are setting yourself up to lose.

I don't even agree that these are choices we necessarily have to make - I think we are getting closer and closer to sustainable growth, not merely subsistence.

True. I am not asking people to just accept anything though.

If you want growth, have at it. When my phone completely breaks, I would love to get a better hardware with more features.
