A libertarian and consumer friendly right-to-repair (RTR) / right-to-own (RTO) governance model could be something like Orthodox Union or UL but for consumer devices The Right-to-Repair union RTR-U could be a simple authority with access to the keys to unlock the device if the vendor breaches certain commitments. Various levels of commitment could be offered similar to copy-left. The basic / lowest level would be "can unlock if the company dies". Higher commitments could be will unlock if ... company starts telemetry company changes licensing company stops providing timely firmware updates. This way consumers are guaranteed a certain quality of service and access on their devices. Then vendors get a stamp of approval (like OU or UL) with the level of certification like RTR-open, RTR-private , RTR-long-terms-support etc. This governance operates within private enterprise while consumers are offered the option to buy into vendors who commit to right-to-repair and right-to-own.
