Your point is valid, however we shouldn't forget that right to repair doesn't mean being forbidden from buying new products. That is, people wanting to buy their new device wouldn't see any difference, until the day they're forced to buy a new product because either repairing it from only authorized shops is too costly, or because there are no documentation and spares available at all. A right to repair law would be a win-win scenario for everyone, except greedy beancounters of course.
