The case is really about abusive restrictions on warranties by attempting to void warranties if repairs were made by independent dealers.

I think it was deemed abusive partly because independent dealers are deemed skilled professionals. But I also thing that it might not have been a restriction on the "right to repairs" if warranty had been void if you had tried to repair yourself (and perhaps they do have such a clause as well).
