It's not so much that the tech just worked. Often it doesn't work. The difference is that when it doesn't work it's not user-serviceable. Up until maybe 2010 or so, when things broke there was often something a user could do to fix them. But, especially with the introduction of locked-down mobile phone OSes, that's not true anymore. Now it's just "wait for an update".
