Starting to notice the sheer number of things that can’t be disassembled without breaking. Is there a design term for this?

repair-hostile is usually manufacturing or form factor efficient, but I'm not sure there's specifically a word for it as it's not really a goal unto itself - it just comes out of prioritizing those other goals

especially when it comes to cheap chinese products, "never attribute to malice what can be attributed to cheapness" either in physical terms or design time terms - even designing things to be intentionally obfuscating is longer and more technical design thought
