From a liberty point of you, aren't you taking away Apple's freedom of association and forcing it to share it's proprietary information with competitors?

Apple is free to have the repair policies they like, and I am free to buy or not buy Apple with their repair policies forming one of the inputs for my decision.

There's no need to share proprietary information to be able to repair things. Take a PC, you can repair it easily without infringing on Intel and AMD patents. Your argument is flawed

why should a 300 billion-in-cash-or-whatever corporation enjoy the same freedoms as joe citizen? it doesn't make sense in a world in which money buys you more money, more lawyers, more freedom, more choices in general.
