I think it depends who you ask.
There are definitely people that want to go this far. They would like to see full schematics and part listings.
However I think most of the people don't need the specifications in "the preferred form for modification". They simply want to stop companies from taking steps against repairs. They don't necessarily want help doing the repairs, they just don't want to be thwarted. For example
- Outlaw contracts that forbid part manufacturers from selling parts to third parties.
- Outlaw "chip paring" features such as would give errors if you replaced a screen because it was the "wrong" screen.
- Remove restrictions on repair shops such as limits on number of parts and allowed types of repairs.
