Those liability laws need to be corrected.

Industrial operators who modify their equipment are not children, they should be responsible for their actions and trusted to repair it.

Yep - that's where the legal fix needs to start. Until people making the changes are liable for the changes they make to industrial equipment (and this includes things like cranes and generators and such that also have similar issues of repair), the industrial equipment makers are going to be very hard to persuade to support right to repair as it puts them in the spot of even more liability.
