Apple’s T2 security chip blocks some third-party repairs of new Macs

This doesn’t seem like a very big deal.

Unless I read it wrong this only applies to repairs that could interfere with the operation of the T2 security chip, but I’ve only ever had my Macs repaired by Apple or authorized third-parties when I couldn’t do it myself so maybe it’s just me not seeing the issue.

I agree.

Even in Denmark where Apple doesn't have any officials stores, there are still plenty of small tech repair shops that replace phone screens, and from what I've noticed at least 50% of those are Apple Authorized Service Providers who are able to repair any Apple product and also provide the service free of charge if you are under warranty.
