"right to repair" is a touchy issue for many.. apple doesnt allow just anybody to repair apple products, just ask louis rossman.. another area is the farm tractor business, they have clusterfucked the entire farming business by fully computerizing farm tractors and THEN ONLY ALLOWING THE FARMER TO CALL THE TRACTOR COMPANY TO GET THEIR TRACTOR SERVICED.

Should be an illegal business practice. If they want to deny warranty support of their products to third party repairers that's their right, beyond that should be illegal to attempt to seize the entire aftermarket like this. It's a monopolization tactic.
