The move signals how right-to-repair legislation in the EU and US states is reshaping expectations even for small manufacturers serving technical audiences. For emulation enthusiasts who modify and repair their devices, OEM parts availability directly competes on desirability alongside price and specifications in a $50–$200 market segment.
