It did cross my mind, or even try and cut it off in a way I can super glue it back together. Point is, the consumer should never be forced to even have to think like that. Until right to repair becomes mandatory and companies become more aspirational to do better at the cost of profit, it will keep happening. There are some companies doing amazing things -I've worked at some, but they are still the minority and guidance needs to come from leadership to make it work.
They need to consider the full product journey including past end of life, not just cradle to grave
