I want replaceable CPU and memory in my phone as well. I demand the government force device manufacturers to use socketed CPUs using standardized sockets and SO-DIMM memory. And it's not because you don't care about something that you should remove this freedom from me.

I mean, why not? Fairphones showed it can be done, to an extent. At least this should be pursued. One step at a time, though.

Fairphones absolutely do not have a socketed CPU and user replaceable memory. Each generation has one mainboard with soldered components, which I don't see listed as a part to replace on their site.
