It is unfortunate that you are getting downvoted for stating the absolute most sane option. Apple isn't doing anything illegal here, so consumers aren't going to see a change in their behavior. Unless they opt out of Apple's offerings completely.

Another option of course is to change what's legal. Society could legally force Apple to allow and cooperate with real independent repair shops. It seems quite clear this would be a more efficient and fair system.

But yes we can also strive towards both goals simultaneously. I personally will never spend any money on Apple's products. I've inherited a few of them, but I keep myself as loosely tied to the ecosystem as possible.
