I'm happy to discuss my opinion especially after describing my reasoning, you just went for some completely unnecessary snark. To extend on my reasoning: it seems like the camera and phone industry is still perfectly thriving despite very precise diagrams right down to circuit designs and component specifications being accessible via nothing more than a Google search for "sony <model> service manual level 3". There is a healthy ecosystem of devices and manufacturers on one side, and officially licensed as well as unlicensed repair shops on the other side, and there are many resellers for original spare parts as well that allow both larger operators and adventurous tinkerers to repair their devices on their own if they want. Unfortunately, this cannot be said about a lot of other electronics branches where a lot of Things eventually become dead paper weights due to DRM, bespoke critical parts failing without spare part supply chains and/or information how things should work (say, test point voltages, signal patterns, ramp-up periods) or simply because the manufacturer vanishes off the face of the earth, forcing owners of such devices (assuming they still work after the manufacturer ceased paying server bills) to decide between doing what is right and discarding of stuff that poses a threat to other netizens or to keep their stuff running and have it hacked sooner than later. Since the market has clearly failed to provide products that are built to last, the e-waste amount is clearly unsustainable and the electronics markets of Shenzhen with the wizards there being able to do virtually everything one desires cannot be replicated elsewhere, I propose strict governmental regulation.
