The whole point is that it’s worth open sourcing to promote rights to repair and fix Apple’s deficiencies. This only makes sense in context of Apple being a shitty company, as otherwise it would have no point.
It’s like nicotine patches, they would have no utility if the tobacco industry didn’t get a whole lot of people addicted to something that kills them.
A tax based on the environmental and municipal cost of disposalble electronics applied to products based on total waste and life span would be nice. A little afraid of regulatory capture that companies like apple could afford on a bill like though.
The EU is actually moving in that direction, except not through tax subsidies, but straight up regulatory requirements. User-replaceable batteries will be a strict requirement in 5 years for example. I’ve seen something similar with right-to-repair stuff, but I don’t really remember where that is.
“that Apple won’t make. “ while true, is completely unnecessary in the awesomeness of what’s being made available.
