Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

Apple is one of the worst companies about being able to repair products. They've gotten several bills failed or neutered to not do anything. We don't know yet, but they are likely trying for a neutering amendment here to keep control over the process. I'd love to be proven wrong, but all we have to go on is prior experience.
