"car companies could design for repairability, but it's not a selling point and it is a way for them to claw back profits"
agree 100%, there is little incentive for the car-maker+dealer ecosystem to enable this.

Actually all car companies have incentive to lower repair costs because people look at the cost of insurance when they buy a car, but I don't think it's a big consideration for most people when they are deciding what car to buy. It's normally a negligible cost compared to the repayments for the car.
