That's an atrocious Wikipedia article. They don't even pull a quote, they just reference a 30 minute YouTube video directly?
From what I can tell, the only relevant bit in that video is that he concedes he didn't know that tractor racing (tractor pulls) was a thing.
And thinking any environmental regulations should exist certainly doesn't place you on the left. Do you think Richard Nixon was a leftist?
Rossman spends about the same amount of time railing against regulation as he does supporting right to repair.
Right to repair is largely about protecting individual liberties and property rights.

I don't think that confirms any "points" you've made at all.
"He was initially completely against any restrictions by companies on farmers from repairing their equipment (which might have resulted in voiding the equipment's warranty). However, Rossmann later admitted that his opinions were not completely correct due to a lack of expertise in farming machinery; this came after he received mail from a John Deere employee stating how allowing farmers to tune their tractors can result in harm to themselves and possible violation of environmental laws.[14] "
This seems to confirm my point...
