It’s true that EU and US law protect the ability of 3rd parties to make replacement car parts.

But.. the law also holds those 3rd parties responsible for damage caused by failures of their parts.

No such protection exists for software.

Let’s start with some working legal privacy and fraud protections for software.

Then we can compare software to cars.

Until then, let people buy into a walled garden if they want to.
