The EU forced Apple to allow users to replace their own batteries, Apple did so by making the process as troublesome for users as possible. (www.ifixit.com)

Wooooow this is a new low, even for Apple

It's really just par for the course with Apple. They've been making their products hostile to repair for years. One of the more egregious examples being the iPhone 4. The cable that connected the display to the mainboard was strung between the two so that when the phone was opened, any inexperienced user or repair-person would likely tear it in half. To say nothing of error 53, an error that came up when attempting to replace the home button with a non-official part, despite not selling official parts.
