With respect @KateKurera, the only thing I don't like about your speech was the bit about "big corporations".
I don't like it, because all corporations, when successful, will become big.
Those that ride the #repairability wave have many $$ advantages.

A good solid for #repairable devices is of financial management: Roughly 30-40% of a given products' revenues come in the form of lifecycle maintenance.
In the coming decade, that margin will increase to 50-60% due to futureproofing and modularity among other things.

What's missed by financial managers though, is that this revenue is not free. It has two costs, one indirect:
First, the cost of staff to maintain said equipment - if your products fail "too infrequently", you're forced to use contractors (seasonal variability of need).
