Some units have screws hidden under feet, product labels, snapped on covers, or require long narrow specialty drivers. Screws require more complex dies for the case. If the engineering concept was “no field repair” they snap and glue it shut. Factory repair depots have the new case and glue.
Reminds me of the Mac mini’s and half of Apple’s products. You need a putty knife or “spluge” to dislodge the plastic clips holding the case together. You need industrial suction cups to remove the glass on the iMac’s as it’s held in with magnets.

As I always say, kick it hard. It won’t make it better but by golly, you’ll feel way much better.
