My take is that the tools should be available and the product not locked down such that only 1 blessed supplier or repair place can service. So long as competitors can arise in the repair space beyond the manufacturer, then there’s a sliver of hope that pressures against monopoly repair. This only induces product design that is remotely repairable, vs always discard, at high enough price points that refurbished or secondary market can command value. I struggle to see how lower priced items could have “be repairable” as some enforceable tenant absent a standards group which always trend toward incumbents and reduced innovation.
