It champions consumers' rights to repair products without facing significant roadblocks from manufacturers. Proponents argue that repairing electronics should be as straightforward as it used to be, with manuals and spare parts readily available.

These arguments often obscure the financial motivations behind restrictive repair practices—many companies see more profit in selling new products rather than allowing for easy repairs.
