Because you have to ship it somewhere or drive to somewhere and pay for it to be replaced.
Does that sound like a "green" way to do things to you? The point is they make it difficult for you to replace parts, hoping you just get a new phone instead.
The sooner you realize Apple doesn't actually give a shit about saving the planet and they only put on this facade to sell you more product.... the better off you'll be.
I own Apple products but I'm not buying their bs about wanting to make the world a better place. Stop holding these companies up as some religious replacement.

The battery needs shipping to you or you need to drive* somewhere to pay for it. What is the difference?
> Does that sound like a "green" way to do things to you?
It certainly doesn't sound any worse.
>The sooner you realize Apple doesn't act...
Blah, blah, blah... Cynicism is easy to the point of being lazy. You and those like you want to repair stuff on your own, and that is fine. Don't pretend that you want to do it because it's any greener. It's as much green washing as Apple is being accused of - same at the USB-C port enforcement. I don't believe for one minute that you give any more or less of a shit about the environment that Apple or its employees do.

You made a point, it was challenged and countered, and you're doubling down on it. The sooner you're honest about your motivations, the sooner we can have a sensible discussion.
* Not everywhere is a car-centric as the US--some of us can walk or use public transport, which is greener still.
