Holy unintended side effects, Batman!
I have to say that I did not see this coming when I heard about right-to-repair legislation.
It seems like there is one workaround for a reseller; I can just buy Bosch washing machines new, and disassemble them for parts. In the worst case, the most commonly failing part will cost as much as one washing machine. Plus the cost of carrying inventory. Or I guess you could try to do it on-demand, but you've still got a bunch of motor-less washing machines in the shed out back.
