This sounds like Apple apologism. Repair shops certainly have the capability to fix these devices but are hampered by actively Apple who would obviously prefer you go through them for repairs which are nearly as expensive as buying a new phone which is the whole point.

I see you haven't been a victim of a shitty third party repair shop. Yet. I have stories to tell.

I don't mind us demanding Apple to be more flexible in authorizing and training third-party technicians, providing them with parts.

But I don't need every idiot to have a repair shop. I don't need this to be a "right". You still need to meet some minimum bar of competence in my book.
