I wonder if they're afraid of losing the market to platforms like Frame.work.

Doubtful. It'll be a while until Framework operates at a scale that even makes a blip on Apple's bottom line. Legislation could have a large and immediate impact on Apple.

And as someone who tried to fix a MacBook it requires a level of care, skill and confidence that is a step beyond most people.
