Sorry, but that doesn't prevent M$ from pushing an update that breaking it.
Got a surface pro last year, shipped with Windows 11 pro. Worked for one week, then an upgrade broke the graphics. Uninstall of the update made thing worse. Factory reset failed too. Eventually had to clean wipe and install Windows 10. Then I had to try all my keyboards/thumb drives etc as it's either this or that did not work with it and there were not enough port to plug in all the things I need at the same time. The only thing worse than that was over 10 years ago when I was playing with different Linux distributions.
Enough is enough. I guess my next device will be shipped with Linux.
How does any of that have anything to do with hardware repairability scores.
For that matter, how could they possibly push an update that breaks said repairability? It's not like a software upgrade can fuse the battery door to the bottom of the laptop.
