Availability of parts and tools is critical to being able to repair anything and iFixit's entire business is based on repair.
Strategies restricting parts and tools as a moat protecting repair and secondary (used) markets should rightfully be illegal. Lobbying for this, especially when your business is repair and repair supplies, is self-preservation, and not lobbying against forces trying to put your business out of business is... irresponsible.
