Yes, some devices are getting more difficult to repair. However, Microsoft and Samsung aren't the ones lobbying to make it ILLEGAL to fix device.

Apple has sued over people taking displays that were still good, but just needed the glass replaced. This is a trivial repair and has been done forever in the IT industry. To the car analogy: it's like replacing the windshield and selling the vehicle. Then Honda sues you because the Honda logo is still on the car.

This has nothing to do with security and is totally over Apple wanting full control over a device that someone purchased with their own dollars. To say it's to do with security is asinine.
