Here in the U.S. any kind of basic regulation == communism, but I when I imagine "right to repair", I imagine a free market where Apple is allowed to sell glued-in batteries and Framework is allowed to sell repairable products, but all companies must publish the private internal repair documentation they already have and sell the replacement parts they already have, if available. Apple may legitimately not be able to sell replacement batteries, if even Apple themselves can't replace them, but at least there's transparency for the consumer. Eventually I imagine Apple could no longer get away with this practice, not because they are legally forbidden, but because people would become aware of it.
