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.
I still play my own instruments (ain't that good, but I'm good enough to
disguise some of the defects with my voice).
And I still sing without auto-tune. You just have to carefully select your
repertoire so you don't need any of those high notes you can't hit anymore.
