Such hostile contempt... Lots of things to concern yourself about and not everyone is interested in everything which is fine, but it's gotten quite a bit of coverage and certainly a lot more people know about it, never mind laws are being discussed and actually passed. More importantly, explaining the concept is just a lot easier because it's significantly less abstract.

No such thing. I'm fine with Joe Average, and I don't think everybody should know about everything, much less about the "right to repair" (much more important stuff for people to learn about, including politics and/or gas prices and other things that affect someone more).
I'm merely stating a fact: the "right to repair" is not something that has been covered in any degree for the regular persons to know or care about. Most of those that do are already familiar with the tech scene, if not as technies, then as gadget lovers and tinkerers.
Has been in the kind of news Joe Average doesn't give a fuck about and even if they watch, they forget in 10 minutes.
Techies spot mentions of it in the news because they already care for it and know the term.
That's not the same as something being in the news that reach regular people (that would be more like some high profile Hollywood divorse, some war, or gas prices).
