You've made the distinction in the past that freedom of speech is a right but health care is not. How is repair a "right" within that distinction. A carefully built product will always prioritise aesthetics, usability, size... sometimes repairability gets in the way.

It's worth noting that this isn't a case of repairability being a low priority. Apple (and others) take ACTIVE measures to prevent repairs and compatible parts markets. Planned obsolescence is a pernicious and deliberate anti consumer policy, not an unfortunate accident of design

I agree that some of the decisions are made to deliberately increase the difficulty of repair. I hope whoever is in charge in making the laws can see the difference. I don't want a bunch of old people in suits to tell Apple how to design products.

Old people in suits are already telling Apple how to design products, unless somehow you are interpreting Tim Cook as being young and suitless.pic.twitter.com/EB47QI8dsd
