I’ve never understood his crankiness on this subject: the concept of ‘right to repair’ is entirely synthetic.
Government intervention in markets is usually predicated on some kind of ‘market failure’ and I don’t see how that is the case here. There is plenty of competition in the phone market and if the option to have a phone repaired by third parties was really desired by consumers then someone would sell such a phone.
It seems more like Rossmann is angry there is not a product-market fit for his services. Something like that.
