You underestimate the power of manufacturers to use DRM to prevent "unauthorized" repairs.

A remedy to that is available.

Right to repair has gained some traction in the automotive space in the past decade and Massachusetts has extended its law to include vehicle data standards. This is important because manufacturers generally don't like to make several variants of the same basic systems, so an individual state can have a nationwide impact.
