It is a net positive for the right to repair people.

It is more on the general that people should have the option to fix our devices that we own, without having to pay the company that made it to fix it.

Most companies engineer in failures as features so as to make more profit, while in the past many were able to fix simple things, without help, per the manuals.

More hardware and software locks are being implemented.

Edit: added more info on manuals and software locks

Yes, works definitely agree with that. RTR is definitely a plus.
