The communists will soon be deciding we all have to have the same phone, instead of letting the market decide whats needed. if user replaceable batteries were desirable above other features all phones would have still have user replaceable batteries.
Congrats, the stupidity of that comment is epic.
Calling "communists" to the EU regulators is that. I'm not going to argue about that when the EU is clearly in the capitalist and liberalism train.
It's excellent to observe that the people think that it's all about Freedom of Market when "the Market" changes and imposes tecnologies as the non-removable batteries.
The change for non-removable batteries didn't happen because the Market and the buyers "chose" non-removable batteries against removable ones. That change was a imposed one through the oligopoly of the mobile market (2-3 brands have >>90% of sells), they decided that the "new trend" in the market was that, and all the top-tier models changed to non-removable batteries.
That "free of election" is a fake one, because never the makers of that models offered a real option:
The same model, with and without removable batterie, with same specs and only differences in that point of sell.
¿That happened?NOPE, so its a false dilemma and an invention calling that as a option in a free market.
The best of that is that the Cell-makers have many reasons to prefer the non-removable battery, improving their post-market services and sells related with that.
The regulators for EU, OR USA, are there for (theorically) garrant that the products in the market are reaching minimal specs of security and SERVICE.
Callins "communists" to that regulators is an evidence for a sick that affected all the western "world". Ignorance and believing that your interests (as a buyer) isn't the same as the interests of the Firms. All that aren't the interests of these Firms are "communists". What a dystopic view.
