The modern automobile is safer, cleaner, more efficient, and more technologically advanced than anything that came before it. Yet those improvements have come at a cost. For many owners, mechanics, and independent repair shops, that cost is repairability.
Partially you are right. My only disagreement is while most people don’t read those documents, 1 lawyer who is bored and sees a pay day is all that’s needed. Like someone has a law degree but can’t find a practice to hire them so they go to a dealership, test drive a vehicle, sit down to sign paperwork, read everything and are like “hold up… Can you give me a copy of this?.. Thanks, tell your boss to expect a letter from me.”
It’s like general computer security, you can block 500 bugs and security flaws but if 501st is discovered it’s a really bad day.
