'Right to Repair' is nice, but the real battle is having a guaranteed base level of functionality for products that is independent of network access and software update.

If your car can be turned off remotely or rendered unusable because the company that made it goes out of business, it's a problem. The same is true for things that you "purchase" through Amazon and other services. If you are buying (not renting) you should be able to download and access offline forever.
