A little anecdotal feedback: I'm French and a number of household appliance manufacturers have more or less anticipated the directive. They don't all take a dim view of it, because it benefits companies with a network of retailers and repairers (so not Amazon and Chinese retailers). But they have already found a way around it. I have a Moulinex kettle whose on/off button has broken. The part was designed to break, so it's clearly programmed obsolescence. But this part is not available on its own. It is included in a "kettle body" kit which costs 80% of the price of a new kettle and is only sold to professional repairers. The problem is frequent enough for people to distribute the STL in order to 3D print the part.

Other brands operate on a fixed-price basis for repairs. Top-of-the-range equipment can therefore be repaired out of warranty at a fair price, but the price is prohibitive for entry-level equipment.

I think we'll have to wait a while for the "They will also be obliged to provide access to spare parts at reasonable prices..." obligations to be tested in court room before we can actually repair our appliances.
