This is more an idle thought. I don't live in NYC right now nor do I have an MNT in need of repair at the moment.
And as things in our life have become more complex, repair shops have become more specialized, and his shop primarily does Apple products.
But I think that for Right to Repair to be really good, whether MNT or Framework, we must have not only the ability to self-repair, but be able to pay for repairs by 3rd parties, in practice not just theory.

I agree on this completely.
To be honest, what you say, might not even go far enough though...
All hardware should always be by default usable without any proprietary crap if that is their choice.
Planned obsolence should be illegal as well and most of all, copyright for electronics should have a set limit of 20 years that cannot be extended and even then, you should be able to modify your hardware distribute patches, as long as you don't charge a fee for it.
