The more I think about right to repair, the more I become convinced it's a symptom of hazy interface specifications. Radical idea: Ban sensor / actuator companies from building software on top of them in-house. They're welcome to offer a turn-key solution to market, but it must (1) have hardware and software built by two separate, independent companies & (2) publish its interface specs, between those two companies, to all customers or end users. Things would cost more. But I'm not convinced this would be a worse world, in aggregate.
