I'm for right to repair, so long as there are laws in place that ensure that any materials are disposed of responsibly and don't wind up in landfills.Lets assume for the moment that this is a strategy they employ everyone, suddenly states (in the US) that pass right-to-repair legislation are pulled out of? Pulling out of all markets that have laws that they disagree with would lead them operating no where, what is the threshold for pull out? To me this looks like Apple posturing to force laws upon people, especially since they operate in far worse places (in terms of moral positions).
I'm OK with forcing sideloading, as long as privacy laws are strengthened so apps can't just suck up a ton of data.
It all depends upon the intent you place upon Apple, whether you feel they act solely out of malice or greed, or if you might consider other options.
I'll also add that laws don't often change with the times. Here in CA, there was a law that mandated fluorescent light fixtures to save energy. Nobody wanted them, and they would often replace them right after their inspection. And of course, along came LEDs that were less hazardous and more efficient. Fortunately, CA changed the law. This would be an example. If companies are using standardized chargers, then there is no reason why one needs to be included with every purchase. Apple should have pointed this out and requested a change to the law before selling devices there without an included charger.
