> if we could move society to a new paradigm

That's the reason why. That's just too big of an "if".

Any premise that is predicated on an artificially-induced complete paradigm (counter to the interests of capital, no less) shift to bear significant fruit is pretty much a non-starter. You need incredible buy in for that (which right-to-repair is just too niche to have), and established interests will still push against it every step of the way.

Maybe the EU could do it, but even then I'm skeptical.
