> If the machine is repairable (vs being just glued together as a solid lump of epoxy), it adds to the manufacturing cost

This isn't even the truth of it though. Nothing about proposed right to repair regulations is about forcing companies to make changes to how a device is manufactured to make them repairable. It's about preventing companies from putting up roadblocks like permanently pairing a part to a specific device, preventing manufacturers from forcing suppliers to make parts or support software unavailable to third parties, and otherwise preventing companies from making the only option the manufacturer for after-sale support. Their manufacturing costs would actually go down, as they spend R&D and other resources creating these controls.

It does mean that their revenue will drop as people make use of repair options, but that's tangential and honestly not something that consumers should care about at all. All in all, the thing that RTR hopes to achieve is giving consumers the option to repair themselves, or use third party repair shops. For how much people hate capitalism it's wild how okay people are with what the state of the industry is when it comes to their preferred brands considering they don't even have to make use of it.
