Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Would part of this be addressed by allowing users to actually disable the network connectivity on their devices and vehicles and mandate that the devices and vehicles should be unaffected by disabled network connectivity?
I think that combined with illegal part pairing and parts availability would allow much more control over the products we buy.
