Yes. Repair shops have been advocating for a long time for companies like Apple to allow repair shops to obtain certain parts and ICs which are otherwise unobtainable due to exclusivity deals with chip fabs, as well as to provide repair schematics. When companies go out of their way to make both impossible to obtain, it becomes very difficult for independent repair shops to do their work.

Apple has programs for repair shops.
This program, like the iPhone program, is not that program. This is for adventurous people who want to do the repair themselves because they don’t value their own time highly enough.
One can complain about how Apple deals with repair shops. One can complain about how Apple deals with self-service repair. One should not confuse the two situations as if they were in any way equivalent.
