If people recycle them, they won't be in that landfill. And many countries (at least in Europe) now recycle all garbage.
Even stuff glued together can be separated and be recycled.
Making long-lasting, more expensive products certainly decreases the amount of devices that end up in landfills.
And isn't the "glass glued to the display" simply one less piece of glass that needs to be recycled? The previous solution was a display unit with a thin piece of glass, and then a bigger protective piece of glass in front of that. (Please correct me if I'm wrong here).
