That's... What the repairability score is.

I wasn't talking about the repairability score. I was talking about the title of this article stating that it's "harder" to repair than the Switch 1.

Yeah, it is harder to do. Specifically

you need to remove stickers in a way that you can replace them, if you want to keep them looking good
You need to undo glue, iFixit used isopropyl alcohol and force
Once you're in its fairly easy to replace parts, but Nintendo don't supply parts
Batteries are glued down, you need to destroy the foam beneath them to get the batteries out, Nintendo don't sell replacement foam, or even a specification for the foam

By being harder it will be more costly to repair

This part I'm not so concerned about. It sucks but still doable.

Nintendo don't supply parts

Nintendo don't sell replacement foam

Yeah, see, that part I take issue with. That's not doable.

That's what I meant in my original comment.

The article is clickbaity and a bit crappy. The repair guide is not.

Welcome to the modern gaming press, I suppose.
