I will assume that your example is the reason for your your comment, and while I agree this does open the door for exclusion, that is after all a reasonable one.
You cannot have a consumer device at a reasonable price point, designed to provide water resilience, which also contains an open section to the power supply.
Galaxy S5 did it.
That's a good point, but it was an expensive phone for the time.
I'm more interested in people have a choice rather than having government bodies dictate.
You certainly can. Look up any flagship smartphone and you can see that they provide water resilience and they have a charging port.
They are all closed cover designs though.
I am not saying it cannot be done. I'm saying that most of us are not walking around with $2000 phones, nor do we want to.
As a consumer I want a choice, not a mandate. I am more interested in getting an affordable phone myself then whether or not I can opening it up easily.
But if you want a phone that can do that I believe you have the right to that.
