If I recall correctly, this is pretty much exactly the strategy that Louis Rossmann was calling out when Apple first started their 'repair' program. He was right.
Louis Rossmann mentioned this too, where he has to buy an apple powerbank, to remove one chip (charge controller?) to fix an iphone, and then throw away the rest of the powerbank, because the manufacturer is not allowed to sell him a chip worth a few cents.
Government intervention in markets is usually predicated on some kind of ‘market failure’ and I don’t see how that is the case here. There is plenty of competition in the phone market and if the option to have a phone repaired by third parties was really desired by consumers then someone would sell such a phone.
It seems more like Rossmann is angry there is not a product-market fit for his services. Something like that.
