Apple now endorses Right to Repair legislation (www.404media.co)

I believe this is genuine support of the bill from Apple. Between Right to Repair winning in Massachusetts and the EU demanding compliance, I think Apple decided to flip the script. They would want to continue the illusion of customer friendly tech.

There must be a loophole in the bill. Hopefully people find it and sound the alarm before the bill passes.

Either that, or it's become clear they can't win, and they're trying to look good and gaslight people into believing they were always on the right side of this.

This is what I was thinking. Seems to be the simplest answer as well.
