It should be regulated similar to how cars are regulated - with mandatory service and spare parts for many years.
Cars aren't exactly a good example on how to curb enshittification, as the car industry pioneered enshittification and found a way around regulations every time so far.
While that might be so, I can still buy original spare parts for my 25 years old car and I could still service it at official repair shop if I wanted to.
The "official repair shop" isn't the issue.
It would be third party repair shops. And amazingly you can.
Right to repair has done some good in this world
Sure, I can also drive it to any repair shop where they can buy repair parts and replace them or do whatever it takes to repair it. I can even replace the light bulbs myself, though thus part is not trivial :S
Yeah but, at least in my country, cars can't be on the road (which would be the internet in this case), without passing the periodic inspection.
They have not found a way around it every time.
They all have seat belts
They all have ODB2 ports
