I know of children demanding iPhones because with an Android is impossible to iMessage(or video chat) with their friends.
I also know cases where a child from a modest family spent the money he earned on Fortnite cash. There is a group pressure to own certain things otherwise you are excluded.
Anyway my main point is about some regular citizens fighting a giant PR(propaganda) campaign is not easy. I follow some of Louis Rossman videos where he shows how politicians debate the right to repair and it is so clear how Apple and big companies PR succeeded in having those politicians putting more importance on copyright over repair schematics(because trade secrete). preventing repairing consoles(because pirates) and preventing replacing bateries(because fires and explosions). How much money and effort is needed to make a contra PR move to show people that batteries don't just explode if the repair person does not a paper that he is Apple genius or that making repair components accessible and repiar schematics accessible will not make video games more easy to pirate. Then there is also the idea that if you have access to rep[air your tractor then you can do dangerous stuff , thing that is ridiculous considering you can repair your car and then use it on a public road (not like tractors that are mostly used on private property)
