  They basically all boil down to trade secrets and "it's dangerous to let people repair these sensitive products". Personally, I don't see how gerber files with board layouts and selling replacement components violates any trade secrets, considering the former is readily reverse-engineered (even if you can't easily determine exact routing for things in layers not on the board surface) and the latter poses them no risk either. As for what boils down to the "people are stupid" argument, that's just BS and they know it.

    > "it's dangerous to let people repair these sensitive products" One has to ask what's really more likely to destroy my life - the glass of the iPhone I clumsily tried to repair, or the shit I wrote on that iPhone...
