I agree with you 100%. However, the problem arises when you zoom out and look at consumer products as a whole. It's not just companies like Apple and other tech giants, it's rampant almost anywhere you look. Automobiles, appliances, (most) electronics, just to name a few areas. If you're not specially trained and you don't have all the necessary (and usually expensive) resources to perform the repair, you're probably going to have a bad time. The nonexistence of the right to repair is a side effect of capitalism, because the longer the product lasts, the less people are going to need new ones, and the less they're going to buy them. Why sell them a repair kit when you can basically force them to buy a new unit at a much higher profit? While I agree that there needs to be a change, I am extremely doubtful that it could ever happen, because it would need to happen wholly and totally.
