It's not the only thing. But you can bet that the 10/10 reparability score on ifixit is not an accident.
It's great that other companies are sourcing their materials fairly, but if I have to toss the device after three years because the battery is dead and I can't swap it, or because the screen cracks, the speaker died or whatever, I'll take that with a grain of salt.
These days, in all seriousness, I'm more afraid of the corpo surveillance.
That's the same thing! Or do you honestly believe the US regime would go: "Oh boy, that's a nice pile of data Google/Microsoft/Facebook/Amazon have there. Too bad we can't get our hands on that. Oh welp 🤷"
They subpoena the corp in question and are handed the data.
And with the amount of government-aligned oligarchs at the top of various media houses it'd be endlessly naïve to assume the media they publish wasn't parroting the government narrative. Just take the reporting regarding Israel's atrocities (or lack thereof) for example.
It's all about thought control. As you say, you can't incarcerate an entire population. But you can make them believe they're free.

Tried to fart but shat my pants

Repeat after me: adBlockers are self-defense.
Have you considered Qobuz?
What does Christopher Street Day have to do with any of this?
Has anything that dipshit did ever?
Unless it has comparable reparability it can hardly be considered an "answer to the Fairphone"
Good old exploding choker.
And still are.
