The strongest right to repair law would probably require detailed schematics, BOMs, and (sufficiently detailed) manufacturing steps being available for all the parts.

That would enable people to organise getting replacements manufactured themselves. :)

I love that future, but that's not right to repair. It's simply not what that means. You can want open source manufacturing, and you can want that legally mandated, but not having manufacturing steps doesn't take away your right to repair something you own.

Is there any evidence that was the bottleneck?

Bit early to be looking for bottlenecks... ;)

Honestly, this world be great lol. The cost and complexity of manufacturing would maintain a moat for the companies.

At the very least, they could license the schematic to customers.
