The problem with 'a lot of work' is that people price that as $0 while it actually isn't "free", unless you are prohibited from doing meaningful work for others or yourself, which most people aren't. So if the cost for some low-quality tools is the same as having it done with high-quality tools but saving you time and effort, it doesn't make sense to try to mass-market the low quality option. This is also what is probably at the core of all this right to repair stuff: there are definitely some anti-consumer practises but in reality people might be too busy with other things to fiddle around with their products when someone else could be doing it instead (or they might simply prefer it and shift any blame and quality control to a third party while they are at it). Even for really simplistic things like changing a light bulb in a car people just can't seem to be bothered. |
