I'm all for right to repair laws, but I would hate to see a law concerning even slightly technical topics written only by elected parties. It would be a disaster.
The legislators approved the editing of the laws and voted for the text as written. They are responsible and should be held accountable.
Specific to the US.
They're rarely if ever written by elected officials directly. Rather legislative aids do the bulk of the authoring and reading of bills along with input from lobbyists.
Laws may be problematic due to the unfamiliarity the authors/sponsors have with technical details and nuances but overwhelmingly the difficulty lies in creating legislature that cannot be interpreted in any other way than it's intention when challenged by an army of highly paid and highly skilled attorneys.
The legislators' job is to represent their constituents, not those who pay enough to tell them what to legislate.
No, an elected official cannot be punished for voting.
