You cannot put the parts of two broken Apple devices together to make a working one: the parts check their serial numbers and refuse to work together. This practice spreads like cancer through more and more industries, for example tractors used by farmers, or medical equipment. It's not your device if you cannot repair it. A direct ballot initiative could fix that, but is expensive. At least, someone tries:

Yep, there is zero reason for a phone to check for the origin of any of the components.
The only part that needs to talk like this is the charging circuit so it can negotiate safe parameters. Changes to internal components should be flagged in case the modification create a security risk, but this should be informational only, it shouldn't disable functionality.
It's unfortunate that this is presented as just a mobile phone issue, because politicians would just get protective of their domestic cash cow, and it's a bit trivial anyway.
Agreed, the more important issue is the one that affects farming: https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7m8mx/john-deere-promised-farmers-it-would-make-tractors-easy-to-repair-it-lied
repairing stuff always benefits White people the most, niggers are too dumb or lazy to do it

What's so hard for the legislators to understand? Everyone should have the right to fix their own property!

I read some of it and it sounds like the legislatures are in the pockets of the tech lobbies. The said they still have questions about it but asked relatively few to the people that were testifying in front of them.
"I still have questions." That's textbook something they say when they think "no way I'm voting for this" but want to sound like they're actually mulling it over and sound sympathetic or pensive. Vote them out of office and shine a light on which tech lobbyists they talk with.
Also we spend a lot of time complaining about politicians, but relatively less time discussing the real problem, lobbyists. Freshmen legislators come in with the promise to change the system, then a lobbyist throws a wad of cash in their face and suddenly the problem they were trying to fight ain't really that bad anymore.
I think the solution will one day having robots with no souls, just hard and cold numbers to make gov't decisions.
