Not everything is both sides. In fact, both sides is usually wrong and in this case too.

> Manufacturers have a strong argument against right-to-repair from the perspective of system integrity and safety - one can imagine unintended consequences and liability cascades from imperfect repair.

No they dont. This is not even honest argument. There is no liability cascade from bad repair, in normal setup you loose liability when doing own repair. That is it. There is nothing new or obscure about it.

> The authorized dealer model isn't just about a monopoly - it’s about a guaranteed standard of care.

As long as it is not mandatory. The moment you make it mandatory, it is about monopoly.

I don't think anybody here is losing their sleep because JD or some other corporation cannot capture more market and regulators.

Heck, if they put in losing of warranty after tinkering BUT made their devices tinkerable farmers would still go for them.

Another point to all those apple apologists claiming how its more moral company than literally any other mega corporation. I take those posts in good faith as simple paid PR (and not utterly clueless folks who need some dumbed down black&white version of reality to survive in it), which should be forbidden here but we all know how upholdable such rule could be.
