Right to repair advocates have described Apple's recent claim to lose money on repairs as 'absurd' and 'misleading.'

Apple made the claim to a Congressional judiciary committee investigating, among other things, whether Apple's locked-down approach to device repairs is anti-competitive...

Apple has always insisted that its control of the repair process is for reasons of safety and reliability. Others have, however, argued that Apple is deliberately preventing customers from obtaining lower-cost repairs from independent shops in order to force them to use Apple Stores.

    As an infrequent hardware buyer, i can tell you it is has gotten into lightbulb territory, many software vendors, especially those tied to a hardware cycle are only concerned with the leading edge of tech. For all the constant security updates required these days, one would think some hardware drivers warranted updates at least once in 15 years.
