What does earned the right to do what they want even mean. Why ought a society with pragmatic concerns ever concede those concerns based on a defective moral model where a party by doing some good somehow earns the right for society to somehow to put aside the needs of 338 million for the benefit of a dozen assholes in a boardroom.

This is a privilege that in a decent society ought not be available at any price.

It's silly to say that they are under no obligation when what we are talking about with right to repair is literally whether we ought to create such an obligation.

If you disagree you must explain why such an obligation is a net negative for the millions not the few.

I await your argument to that effect.
