I think the question is: how much of this change can really be attributed to Fairphone? The right to repair fight has been gaining momentum for some time, and while Fairphone may be helping somewhat, it also feels like it's just riding the wave.
Hardware repairability is only part of the solution. We also need the right to maintain the software after the hardware manufacture decides they will no longer provide software updates.

Costs £700 for the features of my midrange £250 Motorola, plus repairability, minus a headphone jack.
