Personally I'm hugely in favour of phrasing it in terms of "Right to Repair". Most people don't know how to repair their car or John Deere tractor either: and that's where the experts come in who do it for you.

In this case, you or me might be the expert, who can provide solutions for other people such as an "installer" to do whatever.

I personally don't really have a problem with Apple's plan here by the way; I think the way they're doing it is actually quite balanced and reasonable. But other people should be free to make a different personal decision on this. What I would like is to modify some other aspects of my iPhone though, like some things on the keyboard that still bug me after several years.
