What’s the context?

Humane's Ai Pin and other AI wearables are difficult to recycle, threatening to worsen the world's global e-waste problem.

Not just that, but appliances (and cars!) came with wiring diagrams

Pretty sure they still do, as long as you aren't getting the cheap "everything controlled by one board" models (though the diagram might actually be in the service manual, not in the box).

Although there is still repairability. I repaired my TV by replacing the speakers. Some years ago I repaired my furnace by replacing the control board.

Something like a kettle makes more sense for being sealed, though, because it's water and electricity.
