I don't mind turning screws, but I'm not going to mess with glass and glue and stuff. I'm clumsy and afraid I'll break something just by looking at it wrong. Especially on something that isn't mine.
Most other drives don't have most of these problems. Even with the infamous Pentalobe, as long as you get the size right, it's pretty hard to screw up.
edit: Apocryphally by design, anyway. Wikipedia says that's an urban legend, unfounded. I cordially despise the things either way, and I'm sure the sentiment is reciprocated.
