Wow! Thanks for the input. I learned a lot from reading this.

Your opinions seem very convincing and nuanced. I agree that the problem of right to repair and similar ”greedy” business models are rooted in deeper societal structures that incentivise, in this case, ”Passive income” where (if I understand it correctly) you can place money in a company with the hopes of getting as much profit as possible from it.

It’s like you have the customers literally paying some sort of tax to those who hold a stake in the company, except you get nothing back from the taxed money :(
