If you click through to the (much better) article on The Markup, you can see that the lobbying group strongly advocating killing the bill entirely and apparently thought they had succeeded until was voted through and signed. Their request for revisions to be based on some genuine concerns that being obligated to sell every component off-the-shelf means they are telling competitors (and counterfeiters) exactly how to build their devices. It seems like it was just laziness on Hochul's part to just accept their terms verbatim instead of meeting in the middle. But the bill is still a first of it's kind and huge win for Right to Repair.
