I want thick electronics that can actually be serviced and upgraded instead of becoming eWaste and I know I'm not the only one

you know literally every person who cant buy these things like theyre disposable toilet paper is gonna put them in a thick-ass case anyway to keep it from breaking
That's... not quite what I was going for here. Going thin means losing the ability to easily service or upgrade the device. My previous Android phone, I had to replace because the battery turned into a Spicy Pillow. Because you can't replace the battery. Believe me, I tried to figure out how to open it to replace it, but you can't! And my current phone, which I have been doing my damndest to baby, is starting to bulge now after 3 years of service.
Compare this to my Windows 10-based Nokia Lumia that I was rocking back in 2015, which had a removable back plate that explosed a battery that could be easily removed and replaced. The only reason I stopped using it is because the Windows Phone ecosystem vanished; otherwise I would probably still be using that exact same phone today because I CAN ACTUALLY SERVICE THE DAMN THING
o i kno. the non-servicability is an explicit goal of apple corp and has been for a good while. i was mostly remarking that the thinness is pointless even from a usage perspective.
