i would love a right to repair, and to me that doesn’t mean “every moron with a screwdriver” can repair it, but replacement parts should be availible, for minimum amount of time after the product launches, at a reasonable markup.
I’m happy to have a pro replace the battery in my phone, but he should be able to buy JUST the battery, the existing one should have pull tabs, and there shouldnt be any insane warnings.
Similar, if the motherboard of my stove goes, it shuoldnt cost $700 for what basically an arduino.

You just gave me an idea. The mobo on a stove is just a PWM temperature controller, it probably doesn’t even use a PID loop. Drop in replacement boards would sell like crazy on eBay.
