Back to the early 2000s ... it is amazing development, but why and how it was allowed to come to the current situation must be discussed and prevented from repeating.

They proved that most people don't care about modularity/repairability, and they argued reasons why closed/locked-down is better (and some of those arguments weren't entirely without merit, despite being self-serving). This convinced a lot of decision-makers to go that route. I think the overall trend is still toward Steve Job's vision. Looking at Tesla for example, does not fill me with optimism of a modular/repairable future.
