iFixit has been pushing phone repairability and right to repair for years. Sure, that makes it easier for them make repairs, but it also helps users repair their own devices. For example, in the article they mention their stance that phones should have removable batteries so that instead of having to take a phone in to get the battery repaired or replaced, you can just swap it yourself. Personally, I want to use my device as long as possible before I'm forced to buy a new one, so I'm happy to have more ways to fix issues myself.
They also have a shit ton of guides on their website that show step by step how to make various repairs, and they are free.
IFixit aren't the bad guys here
