Am I the only one who sees even those projected figures as dramatically underwhelming given the amount of money investors are pumping into this shit?

The right-to-repair movement hopefully means we can keep doing this in the future with our ever increasingly expendable digital devices. Until 2026, my wife and I have daily driven two x30-series ThinkPads from 2012, repairing and upgrading along the way. Outright purchasing new laptops could easily have been a thousand dollars every five years or so for each of us.

Answer: somebody got paid.
