The article is less about Apple's grotesque restrictions on what you can do with your hardware via software (e.g., no emulators, etc.) and instead about Apple's grotesque restrictions regarding the parts you can use to fix your phone.
I don't think too many people want the restaurant to have a say on what side they make to go with their leftovers from the previous day.

Security updates cost money and programmers and the reality is that Apple is the best at security updates, but no one is really concerned about how to repair an iPhone in 10 years, because an iPhone is only realistically usable until the security updates run out.
