The EU forced Apple to allow users to replace their own batteries, Apple did so by making the process as troublesome for users as possible. (www.ifixit.com)

Apple's philosophy has always been to make things as easy as possible for users, but only if the users agree to pay through the nose. That's fine, but they also actively stop anyone from trying to do anything outside the limited number of actions they consider acceptable. It's a good thing the EU is trying to stop that.
