For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

For the smartphone, what do you mean by software unlocked parts? For the rest I'm in total agreement.
The high end graphics card market really needs more clean RGB free stuff. My 3090's lights didn't turn on despite it functioning just fine so maybe that counts :) ?
As for case I know you had plenty of answers already, but I recently got a Corsair 4000D my latest build it's sleek and has no inbuilt RGB lighting.
By unlocked parts, they may be referring to how Apple serializes parts in iPhones so that you are forced to pay for repair at the Apple store. Part serialization means that if you took two real iPhones apart, swapped every component with each other, and tried to use the phone, certain features just stop working... Here is a demo from Hugh Jeffreys, who has demonstrated this problem with many recent iPhone models: https://youtu.be/dbRKQ0OjQeE
I just hope android devices never adopt this anti-feature like has happened many times in the past with Apple's anti consumer design choices.
Damn that's such unnecessary DRM, I think it should be illegal to serialize parts like that for a mass produced product.
