This has been hidden in developer options for a while now, but they're now releasing it officially. Limited to Pixel 8 and newer devices and no 4k yet.

We are talking about Android, not Apple.

Android phones can be user repaired and repaired by third parties without Googles permission.

What part can't be repaired? Some parts may be soldered to the board, but the board can be fixed without Googles blessing.

And upgrades were never a part of the original comment, so what does that have to do with my comment?

Upgrading isn't repairing, and I said you can repair these devices. My question is what CAN'T you repair, not what can be repaired (which is what I did answer).
