Ignore Tom Chai, he's talking out of his ass. It is possible to remove the glass from the rear of an Iphone x. I have done hundreds of them. The adhesive he talks about doesn't break down using the kind of amateur heat tools that most repair businesses might have. The adhesive does break down at a much higher temperature which can be a problem to the internals of the phone. To remove the glass you have to apply very high temperatures for limited periods of time, just enough to release the adhesive but not enough to dissapate through the phone, this is why you see the emergence of lazer machines that can apply that blast of heat directly to the adhesive layer. It can also be achieved by a hot air gun, a small very directional hot air station can work too with some experience. To summarise it is not beyond insane, it's just beyond Tom Chai.
