Exactly my point as I read down this thread:
For this type of legislation push it is very important to keep the narrative focused on what’s morally and technologically reasonable.
Very few people agree that a manufacturer should be forced to spend time and money on supportting a product for life, many (I hope) agree that we should force manufacturers to give us the ability to repair all functions ourselves (or at least not stand in our way), but almost everyone can agree that you should be able to replace something as trivial as a button, a cable, or a screen.
