These are all absolutely valid and sane points.

Instead of arguing on the exact definition of right to repair, we should all fight for the right to truly OWN our devices, where OWN := we have the legal right to do anything we want with the hardware AND with the software (because you can't really distinguish the two, now that all CPUs come with embedded TPMs running parallel closed OSes with ring -inf permissions).

And they should be required by law to come with the respective datasheets and specs required to do so.

You don't de facto have one without the other.
