If you count Android too, then this: I got my first Android phone when I was 10 or 11 and rooted it on the first day of having it. This was during a time when we were all still using ClockworkMod because TWRP didn’t exist yet, and I somehow ended up with a system without a kernel. Panic ensued, and I spent that entire night (like 10 hours) digging through xda in order to find a tutorial on how to get this damn phone to run again. Imagine having to tell your parents “I broke my phone I got yesterday.” I did get it working at like 6:30 AM. Fun times.

Because they’d rather sell you a new phone than have you repair your device so it lasts longer. It’s capitalism at work. Same reason why everyone and their mom is moving their products to a subscription model. They want that steady flow of revenue rather than a one-off purchase price. I hate it but that’s what everything goes towards.
I could see someone wanting to change their display glass and if that’s not feasible due to availability or cost I could see that as a valid reason for a new phone but I agree that the battery is by far the biggest reason to change a phone.
What do you recommend to them if they do want to game?
