Would you pay X% more to be able to repair Y? Most consumers will buy the cheaper Y if it provides the same day-to-day value as the more expensive but repairable Y. Right to repair is a much greater proportion of pining for the "good ol' days" than anything. When the complexity and manufacturing maturity were not that high, increasing complexity usually meant reducing reliability. The idea that products can deliver greater sophistication, comfort and efficiency without adding complexity is preposterous. At some point the complexity becomes so high that it's not safe for a non-expert to work on it. Imagine a customer bricking a $30,000 car because they wanted to repair it. Who would they blame? Themselves? "Well they shouldn't have made it this way!"
