OTOH I couldn’t get myself to buy anything that’s not at the lowest price ever after I have found out about price history tracking sites

This is why the right to repair is so important… So we can add thing to stuff, so we don’t have to buy new stuff.

Every time I see something like this it reminds me of the short film More by Mark Osborne.

We might still buy new stuff, because adding things to existing can be expensive (in terms time and effort). I just spent hours (and I’m not done) looking for PC parts to utilize my old CPU in a home server. If I didn’t have very specific hardware requirements I’d just chuck it in the bin and buy a pre-built mini PC. And for most people I’d imagine that’s the case. People don’t want to tinker, they just want things to work. Right to repair is very much right to tinker. It suits people like me, but it’s not going to matter to people like my wife, who would much rather buy a new laptop than make the current one not work at a snails pace.
Don’t get me wrong, right to repair is important and I 100% support it, but my point is that it’s only important to us. The average Joe will never care and will much rather buy a new thing than make the existing one like the new one.

It’s supposed to also help the average person by letting repair shops actually be able to repair older devices so you don’t end up being forced to buy a new device because the company says it will cost more to repair it then to just buy a new one as a way to force you to pay more to buy something new.

Our generation got shoveled into college by victims of propaganda who didn’t realize until far too late that it was a debt industry. I’m sorry you had to go through it.
