Examples of nuance: You buy a Widget. WidgetCorp says you may repair it or do whatever you want with it. However WidgetCorp will not sell you any parts, or any schematics. WidgetCorp sues any third parties that try to make their own replacement parts. WidgetCorp engineers added complexity into Widget solely to make it impossible or harder to repair Widget (anti tamper screws, DRM on batteries). WidgetCorp will refuse to repair the flux capacitor under warranty because you have a modified fusion drive, even though no causal link can be postulated between the two. WidgetCorp will cripple Widgets that have 3rd party parts via software updates. All of the above regularly occur with the likes of Apple, John Deere, Dell, Lenovo, Tesla, etc.
