How many hoops will they have to jump through? Will those hoops change over time to continue to make it difficult or they still find ways to monetize those hoops while technically complying with the settlement? Will they still hold ultimate control over the ecosystem and use lawsuits and deliberate engineering to drive third-parties out?

Spoiler: The answer to all of the above is almost certainly going to be yes. These sort of agreements are toothless because they’re meant to be. The fight for right to repair is not a fight that is going to end as long as it’s more profitable to do the opposite.
