Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

I mean yeah, but that's irrelevant to state law. Of course the fear that the federal government intervenes against states trying to implement it exists, but the federal government's position is too precarious for them to do such a stunt.
I figured as much, but given the unprecedented moves coming out of the federal government, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump tries an executive order and signs some kind of emergency powers invocation to establish a national security threat. Regardless, I'm just waxing lyrical here.
They'll say something like "these companies do business across state borders, so only federal law applies" and then everybody will just let them do it
