    guaranteed to brick your device after a number of years

    But what’s the number? Also, a battery not lasting all day is hardly bricking.

      I think that’s an issue of semantics. If someone needs their device to last all day and it doesn’t anymore, then it is effectively bricked. Could one find a workaround to the issue? Oh probably, something as simple as lugging around a battery bank should do the trick, but ultimately users being able to just swap the battery in their device themselves isn’t a big ask. It gives a modicum of ownership back to the person who actually bought the device.

        Which Bluetooth headphones last all day without topping up at all? I’m curious what a use case is that would require someone need them.

          Nah I’m thinking of phones in this scenario. That said, both benefit from having user replaceable batteries.
