Discrepancy in 2 Teardowns

So I just read your Fairphone 2 teardown

- https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Fairphon...

And noticed that you said the LCD and glass are fused, but only mark it as a neutral point

However, in the Nexus 5X teardown

- https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+5X...

You say the same thing but mark it as a negative point. Any reason why?

The Fairphone 2's fused display can be removed in seconds with no tools. That to us makes it a lesser evil ;) In addition to being fused, the Nexus 5X requires complete disassembly to get to the display, endangering components along the way, so it earns a red bullet.
