I guess if I'm being less inflammatory, what I really mean is that the right to repair movement is not really pro-rights at all, it's anti producer rights. It's lobbying for the consumer's unequal right to subpoena information from producers of goods or worse, force them to produce and sell things against their will. This is anti-property powers that even the government is generally not granted and against the founding principles of not just a free market but capitalism itself.

Imagine if you were making a product and some IAS wanted you to sell a bespoke part at a fixed price, and since you can't produce enough of to meet demand and sell your actual product at a reasonable price, you go bankrupt. Or since someone can't figure out how to diagnose a (possibly self inflicted) problem, they want you to release circuit diagrams with trade secrets.
