It is all down to cashflow into the original maker. You can bet if anything really comes of this, restrictions would be in place to stop anyone not "approved" or with correct credentials from performing repairs. Cash is paramount to manufacturers and unnecessary scrappage generates more products made and sold with carbon implications. Just look at price of a printer and cost of related inks.
