I feel terrible that my sausagy American fingers accidentally downvoted you because you make an excellent point. I fear that by stripping people of their agency when it comes to things they've already purchased implies that companies not only still own things you buy, but by extension, they own you. They own your priorities for use, your necessity for repair, and your creativity for adaptation. It's like if it were illegal to use anything but Home Depot(TM) nails on Home Depot(TM) planks, or auto shops that have to kick back to Ford or GM or else they couldn't touch your car.

I can't see this principle as anything but incumbent crony capitalism and a completely unnecessary drag on the economy.
