Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Well don't fucking buy it. The one that has it, post it here so rest of us know the option tbh
It isn't a massive issue tbh. My wife wanted one. She's had it since December and has only needed to charge it like 3 or 4 times.
A replaceable battery would be a good feature, but after years of different mechanical toothbrushes I don't recommend choosing based on repairability. They almost all seem to just keep working for ages, and by the time something breaks they're so nasty you'd rather buy a new one anyway.
Fun fact, my kid used to call them cannibal toothbrushes. Toddlers are fun.
