The non existence of official parts and guides is a big part of their downgrade. Also glued in battery. If you need any sort of special tools or have to search for random salvaged parts, that rightfully tanks the score imo.

When i open up mass produced consumer device like that i wanna see a QR code on each part that leads me to a swap guide and a shop page.
