I am not sure where I land on this issue, I am not entirely sold that it should have been filled to the brim and packed tightly but it does seem like they could have done better either for repairability or at least having things like a headphone jack and maybe better speakers (I have read that speakers can do better with more hollow space without adding much weight but I’m not knowledgeable enough)
The comments have a lot of good viewpoints
Plus, it sounds to me like they need to take more tablets apart. There’s always tons of dead space, usually taken up by filled or risen parts of the structural case.
Sounds to me like you can see a rushed product development here in so far that a custom molded shell was never provided. OTOH, this makes repairs far easier. Which is a good thing for consumers, even though it doesn’t remotely go far enough and I really want a FairTablet or so.

Eh, with how "durable"™️ modern electronics are, might as well call it consumption.
