Honestly, though, that’s the majority of arguments against Apple for stuff like this. The “right to repair” stuff is just as bad faith and I say that as someone who mostly supports the concept of “right to repair”. People always bring up Louis Rossman as if he’s some kind of saint as opposed to a business man trying to drive engagement and profits to his business. The guy knows his shit when it comes to repair but then also pretends like every repair store out there can do what he does. He also fakes issues and ignores when people call him out on them.

The entire problem with his schtick, and I say this with all respect to him, is that he wants to open things up for his own business and doesn’t care if the rest of the repair shops of the world use shitty components or do shitty work just because he doesn’t. He lives in NY and can charge whatever he wants for individual repairs. Most people and most shops can’t.
