This is such a complicated issue.
It not only involves a right to repair.

The message must include an expectation given to manufacturers:

- Please make machines designed for repair;
- Please make service tools available to all;
- Please make parts pricing viable for repair;
- Please take pride in what you make;
- Please don't treat your customers with contempt.

I am so angry I want to go out and put a lounge chair on a ride-on! mad

One wonders whether some of these 'makers' have any pride in their product.
One wonders: what a wonderful world ...
