Is there a huge compliance cost for something like providing schematics for your devices?

I agree that people should do their due diligence when purchasing their tech products, but I am strongly against a company doing something solely for the purpose of impeding repairability.

Yes. How much cost do you think a large company incurs to make few documents publicly available.

Note that it is not just a document you share, you are putting your entire company's reputation into that doc, every cut corner and opening yourself to potential lawsuites as well.
