That seems like something that will end up getting litigated when a manufacturer tries to withhold something basic saying it can be "dangerous". It'll be up to the manufacturer to prove the danger.

At the very least it's a stepping stone. Other states are bound to take it further and at somepoint someone is going to sue, we already have suits against John Deere and their bullshit and with automakers attempting to put up pay walls to included features; it's going to me a messy couple of years

Any electronics are 'dangerous' because they have sharp edges... Or might be a choking hazard if the screws are swallowed...
