Microsoft quietly supported legislation to make it easier to fix devices

Because the ability to veto is a separate step in the workflow, not a precondition of how the vote to pass breaks down. If the hypothetical 100% of the legislature voted yes, the governor could still say no, and then it is upon the legislature to formally override with another vote.

That would explain why the bill not-yet-amended to the governor's preferences could not become law without another vote.

But it doesn't explain how the amended-to-the-governor's-preferences version became law.

So the legislature amended it, not the governor. Why is the governor getting the blame then? The governor could say whatever they want, the legislature could have just sent it back as is with the override of the veto. It is mind boggling that the legislature changed anything in a bill with a super majority.

iirc The governor can request changes on which the legislature will then vote on, which is what happened.
