Well if you broaden the definition that much, then it sounds like iPhone batteries are already user replaceable since I can easily purchase the necessary tools from iFixIt.

    Again, this is not official. Just because somebody has grogged a way too interface with their proprietary screw heads doesn't mean that the design is public domain, and the requirement is that the tool set is public domain. Apple's screw heads are not better than Phillips heads so they're only doing it to be awkward that's the point, they're not allowed to do that anymore. So just because you can technically get the screwdrivers doesn't make it acceptable.

    You're acting like I'm being unreasonable I'm just telling you what the law is it's not my fault you haven't read up on it
