Is there any Android manufacturer who employs the decidedly customer
unfriendly repair practices that Apple repeatedly foists upon its loyal
customer base?

o Finally Apple reverses policy ... Maybe they care about the customer (maybe for the first time EVER)?

The answer seems to be only Apple foists these decidedly consumer

unfriendly practices on their poor hapless (but admittedly loyal) gullible
customer base.

You don't make those ungodly profit margins off of intelligent people.

UPDATE:
o iFixit reports major repair issues essentially rendering iPhone 12 camera repair almost unusable
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/QdyTJ8ZVbkM>
Bearing in mind not only can Apple barely scratch the top ten on camera
quality of output, but now, only Apple pulls these fast tricks purely for
profit off its infantile gullible consumer, all verbatim simply because
*Apologists' _hate_ all facts about Apple* such that apologists will
brazenly deny even these well-cited published facts from iFixit.
"the new phone appears to run into issues if a user replaces the
camera module, *which renders the cameras almost totally unusable*"
o iFixit reports that there are major issues when replacing the camera
<https://www.theverge.com/2020/10/30/21542242/apple-iphone-12-third-party-repairs-ifixit-camera-module-replacement>
"repairing a camera or display will now require Apple's own, in-house
System Configuration app, something that had previously only been
required for a battery swap"
"Apple has long since limited some aspects of iPhone repairs, like its
Touch ID and Face ID sensors... but it's hard to see how the camera
or battery would require similar restrictions"
See also the well-known fact that it's ONLY APPLE who pulls these tricks:
o Is there an Android manufacturer who employs the customer unfriendly
repair practices that Apple foists upon its loyal customer base?
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/lnf8QiyaYr4>
o Do any Android phone manufacturers throttle (CPUs, PD Charging, Modems)
like Apple consistently does?
