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

I don't think so. Modern landfill is cheap and green, and carbon taxes are cheaper. It also increases the rate of innovation, ie you want to go through consumer goods to push upgrades (and yea, this isn't true for everything, but most candidates for long term are already in use)

I’ve done some modeling on this. Design for durability makes a huge impact on carbon impact, and design for repairability is one of the big levers there. The landfill is not the problem (sequestered carbon) it’s the fact that new things are made as fast as old things go landfill.
