I wonder whether anything will get drifted into the “right to repair” legislation to make the same apply across all products …
To be fair, aftermarket products argument is a little different … If a product (like a car for example) undergoes extensive and stringent safety testing, it's right to question whether replacement brake discs or pads have also undergone an equivalent amount of type testing, or some other validation that they are made in a way, and of sufficiently robust materials, to offer at least the same safety as the original equipment manufacturer's brake discs or pads.
