I don't think you need to expand so much on the reason why you're opposed to this business model, it's all understood and well-documented. The usual argument against this sentiment is that it's difficult to establish clear legislation on it. See the very similar debates on planned obsolescence and right to repair. > Such business model requires the corrupting the law to create completely artificial constraints So what? As long as no such laws exist that's fine, and a corrupt country will get bigger problems anyway. The problem is that it's not true since constructors can increasingly rely on complexity: reverse-engineering is getting more and more complex (see recent iPhones).
