Right to repair doesn’t mean that everything must be repairable; it means that manufacturers can’t block you from installing a replacement part (eg by requiring a key from CORP)

That is, if you could have repaired it, YOU could have repaired it

If those manufacturers want to control the quality you're getting from your appliance you're giving them no other option than to integratie everything with superglue and make all repairs impossible...
