    Seems like you could just mandate manufacturers to make sure replacement batteries are available on the market as well?

    I’m a few years into my Fairphone 3, it still lasts two days of normal use without charging, and the battery can be replaced in seconds. If I need a new one I can buy it straight from the producer.
