>Then nintendo should provide and support everything required to give full control of the hardware to users (it intersects the matter of open source supported drivers). I agree that they should, but they are not required by law to do so. It's not that laws are missing, it's that laws are in place to do the opposite of what you're stating. Nintendo has copyrights protecting their products, software included. They have to share only enough to patent their products, but that info is not made public. That might change in the future, I'm not sure if you're following the current legal battles for "right to repair" in the US and I think in the UK. I think it would apply to consoles as well. Without full control of the hardware and software, users will not be able to do full repairs on systems they own.
