Honestly, just less waste. Wasted time, wasted hardware, etc. We spend so much time building devices that are meant to break, and be unfixable,, and making software that fights the user instead of helping. All in the name of profits or something.

We could be making so many cool things, but instead we're going back and forth not making any progress.

Kudos to the EU for forcing mobile phone manufacturers to support replaceable batteries and standardize on USB-C charging.
