Do you really consider the $5 wired earbuds that came with the phone, the ones most people used, were repairable? Nah, they were way more disposable than even cheap wireless buds are these days.
Thanks for the anecdotal evidence, but in general those buds ended up in the trash in months, if not weeks. Out of all the people I know, pretty sure my wife is the only one that likes the wired buds that came with phones, but she went through a pair every few months. She switched to Pixel Buds a while back and only uses the wired ones when she runs, but still has to buy new ones twice a year.

You forgot the part where they used half the materials and parts.
Yet lasted 1/10th as long.
Still using the buds I got with my galaxy S4. They’ve outlasted 4 sets of BT buds.

Well, FairPhone also had wired earbuds where you could replace the wires, which is the main reason people throw away wired earphones.
