Your comment is unfair, and if I'm being honest sounds very disingenuous if you've really spoken to people in the right to repair movement.
If a business is willing to invest time, learn board repair, and offer it as a service without demanding Apple or anyone else change their design, what right does Apple have to block that?
Apple prohibits sale of spare parts (by third-parties) to anyone but themselves, they outright ban people from accessing schematics, and other tools that repair shops need to fix boards. They are extremely hostile to the repair industry.
Its one thing to demand Apple change their design (as if anyone can do that), its quite another to politely request that maybe perhaps Apple shouldn't focus their energy on crushing the repair industry. Its laughable that Apple happily certifies their own products as "green" when they are so hell bent against repair. Apple's (and others') anti-repair policies generate a ton of e-waste.
