Yeah, this is super true. Fact is the newest heavy equipment have these problems all the time... Caterpillar in particular I know are more than..."insistent" companies don't try to fix it themselves or hack the machines. I think if they OSS that stuff the community would be able to fix so many of these issues so fast.

I think they might, but only as a last resort, and they'd have to be dragged every step of the way.
Right to Repair is thankfully much less of an ask: just don't try to actively prevent people from repairing the tools they buy :)
