This is simply silicon valley companies trying to get a foothold in the "right to repair" market - they want to dominate and control what is good intentions by society to extend the lives of older devices.
Of course Google wants to get their grubby hands in the pie by getting these systems/programs in place so they can tell legislators "See, you don't need to have that pesky right to repair stuff, we supply the parts for the users!" - while completely ignoring the actual reasons and benefits of RtR. I hope we don't see Google pulling an Apple and using the US government as an enforcement arm to make sure "bootleg" screens don't make it into the hands of people trying to save a buck in this economy.
