Right to repair is in the best interest of both consumer and nature.

Apple's design flaw defected my mother's macbook panel (flexgate). It was a 5 dollar display cabel that desintegrated after about two years and was built into the panel in a way that rendered the entire display unit unusable.

So not only did the repair shop have to throw away the fully functional panel, but also apple tried charging 750 euros for the repair because they have a monopoly on the display supply.
