It almost seems that they don't want us to repair our equipment.
Cameras are not the only consumer item not made for repair. Try to get a coffee
maker or other kitchen appliance repaired and you'll find the same issue.
In optimizing design, repairability doesn't figure into the profitability
equation.
That just doesn't sit well with my upbringing. I grew up with "Use it, repair
it, reuse it and keep on using it until it can't be repaired any more."
*THEN*, if you still need it, buy a replacement (and by that time, you can
probably find a bargain on a good used one).
That model is as dead as musicians being able to play instruments and singers
able to hit a note without autotune.
That's a bit more cynical than you have to be, I personally know some musicians
who can actually play their instruments, and singers who can carry a tune with
or without a bucket.
