I agree. But the Apple culture of selling an experience not a product, with a claimed residual ownership of the hardware to prevent you from completely understanding or controlling how it works and what software runs on it, and who can repair it, is being widely replicated now. John Deere. Tesla. Requiring owners to use OEM parts to avoid manufacturer voiding the warranty, is a violation of the Magnusson Moss Warranty Act. I don't see why tech companies get away with what automobile companies know they can't. https://www.aftermarketnews.com/hyundai-issues-statement-on-ftc-compliance-warning/ https://www.aftermarketnews.com/hyundai-issues-statement-on-... https://blog.amsoil.com/a-victory-for-consumer-freedom/ https://blog.amsoil.com/a-victory-for-consumer-freedom/ Had this act not existed, had the FTC not had the power to send out nasty grams on behalf of consumers, you'd only be able to put in GM branded motor oil to keep your automobile warranty from being voided. It's going to take a broad right to repair law to stop the trend, and unfortunately I'm not sure we'll get it because tech buys politicians. And the vast majority of consumers really just don't give a shit about understanding technology or repair. They willingly just shell out the cash.
