I rather have a competitor outcompete them with a repairable product rather than forcing Apple to make better phones, or that Apple is forced to add repairability in order to compete.
That is not to say regulation is unimportant, but that I rather that regulations tilt the playing field toward more consumer friendly companies.

- samrus 3y agoI believe regulations are needed when it would beneficial for all providers to collude and form a cartel, which destroys the competition neccesary for innovation

- kaba0 3y ago2 is a magic number on the mobile platform, capitalism is not some magic tool to solve every problem — there is not enough financial incentive to create an app for the majority of corporations for more than 2 platforms. So no new competitor can turn up, see Microsoft that is no small fish, and spent a shitton of money on it, to no avail. On the other hand, Apple is like the best player in this category with almost a decade of proper, first-class support, compared to every android device that will die in 2 years, only recently may survive the 4 your mark.
