Halfway through he describes this as malicious compliance with the "right to repair" law. Apple and others are making a mockery of the law.

The right to first sale should mean that the owner owns and controls all services installed in the product. And any DRM in the way of that, or that obstructs the right of repair, should be illegal, and the manufacturer held liable for including it in a product.
