If it's identical to consumer hardware, then there's no reason to design it to be easy to open. But a developer laptop will be opened.
(I might be attacking a strawman, but I detect in your question a suggestion that more consumer hardware should be user-serviceable. There's a difference between being hostile toward serviceability and simply optimizing the design for manufacturability, aesthetics, cost, and reliability, any of which can conflict with other metrics such as serviceability.)
