But irrelevant. That one entity is doing something bad in no way means that it's OK for another entity to do the same thing.

Besides, the right to repair movement is not focusing on computer products. It's covering a wide variety of products, including Teslas and (perhaps the most egregious) farm equipment.

Yeah, it‘s irrelevant because it in the negative context. If it was towards something positive, it would be then relevant. Seen so many examples of this here. But hey, I‘m doing „whataboutism“ again. Meh.

No, it's irrelevant because an action cannot be judged as right or wrong based on whether or not others are doing it.
