      I believe we have to be careful for apple not to be doing any

      Embracing, extending, and extinguishing.

      Remember almost all mass polluting companies are involved with pro climate action and science, obscuring the data and vision.

          As a official supporter they can start muddling the conversation.

          Apple already has a way to allow diy repair but it requires buying an expensive specific set of apple tools. Thats a first step. They are saying “we are not stopping you from repairing yourself but you gotta play by our rules” They did this without any laws demanding them to so this is extend.

          They will pretend that tere rules are the only way to guarantee no damage and user safety, ignoring that they can engineer the phones to be easier to repair from the start.

          Even if they lose that battle it slows down progression, when things are discussed there going to demand experts join the table. Experts that may or may not have connections to apple and speaks in their interest. iIf they dont want a specific rule or law they can trow their ace card which is “we do supported this but not if that, then we and other tech leaders revoke that support”

          When things dont go their way they can try extinguishing a certain ruling by trowing their ace card. “We and other companies stand by right to repair but if x and y then horrible z so then we will revoke our support”
