I don't think that is the point. The point is that third-party repair shops be allowed to do their jobs without getting sued by places like Apple.

A while back I took my ASUS phone to ASUS to see about repair.
Repairing the phone was going to cost me about 2/3 the cost of a new ASUS phone.
Not like the repair of a 20,000 car where the repair cost runs from a few hundred to a few thousand.
I think the right of repair is a good idea but I am not sure now many highly integrated products are amenable to cost effective repair.

who repairs anything these days? I don't know anyone else, besides myself that is curious enough to even open the case. Or use a multimeter. Or sewing machine. Repair is a fringe, hippie thing now. Is that because no one wants to or because no one can anymore?
