The AirPods Pro "could have been easily made repairable with minimal effort."

I think that's one of two separate ways to solve some of the problems. Yes, there's long lasting, industrial style, built like a tank and made to last that costs a lot as one solution. But there could also be cheaper products that wouldn't last as long except that when something does go wrong you could buy a fairly cheap replacement part and swap it out using readily available tools. Both solutions can and should exist and would serve different markets.
