I think regulatory capture is a risk (and a real problem in some fields), but I'm not convinced it's a big risk as far as right to repair is concerned. Of course we can only speculate at this point since we don't know which exact laws would be enacted.
But in general, I don't see how not actively working against repairs would take a big toll on small companies. And yes, I think smaller companies (too) should be responsible, respect the end user's desire to repair a broken object, and avoid creating unrepairable eWaste. Anecdotally I've seen plenty of small companies be very helpful with regard to repairs.
