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.

You certainly can. Look up any flagship smartphone and you can see that they provide water resilience and they have a charging port.
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.
Phones with battery covers can also be waterproof, it has been done before, we can still do it now. My Galaxy S5 was waterproof and it had a removable battery cover. That was almost 10 years ago, imagine what we can do now. USB ports are waterproof now and don’t require a cover like they did on the S5.

Galaxy S5 did it.

They are all closed cover designs though.
