They’re never going to get rid of the tri-wing screws.

Is there a practical reason they use those obnoxious screws or is it simply to discourage home repairs? When I had to replace my Switch’s fan last year, those insanely tiny screws were a pain in the ass to not accidentally strip.

It’s purposeful to discourage user servicing. I recommend purchasing a quality tri-wing driver, e.g. from iFixit or Proskit.

I figured as much. And yeah, when I replaced my fan I bought the iFixit kit which was really useful.
