I agree with your comment/sentiment, but to be a little more nuanced: I can tell you that butterfly keyboards suck but I am not qualified to say how they should have been designed.

My point is that some people try to and want right to repair to force companies to make their computers more modular in order to make them repairable, when that might stifle innovation.

That wasn't my point. I was responding to the notion that a mechanic is qualified to tell the engineer his job. ;-)
