The fact that we have to pass right-to-repair laws says a lot about our unsustainable throw-away culture of ubiquitous plastics and electronics.
But if we *made* that culture, we can *unmake* it. Partly with legislation, partly changing consumer attitudes.
My (informal) phone survey said over 50% of folks would keep their phones longer if updates weren't forced by planned obsolescence.
People are ready for less consumerism.
