I'm not against blocking government level physical security attacks on personal devices but I am against the idea such a thing warrants or truly requires every user to be blocked from all but first party repairs.

If whatever infallible repair process and repair techs Apple is using internally can truly not be open to 3rd parties without compromising against such nation level attacks then at the very least protections against such attacks should be an option you enable which tells the security processor to never accept new hardware, not a forced default for all consumers which just happen to need repairs over time and are given only one place to get them.
