I'd rather have a Europe-wide application of the French approach of forcing manufacturers to disclose repairability scores at the point of sale (and let consumers decide who important repairability is to them) rather than bureaucrats getting involved with engineering and microeconomics.

It's way too late for that. The unrepairable goods trend is too far gone. I think it's very appropriate that government steps in like this: the message to manufacturers is "you reap what you sow".
