Apple does the same. Not a third party, Apple themselves will NOT repair some broken devices that have broke because of Apple's design issues. Again, I urge you to watch Louis Rosmann. He has covered many instances of these.
You should give Google a hard time because what they are doing it is shitty. But Apple is not the answer. They do the same and more. The difference is that unlike Google, Apple won't let someone else repair it either.
You’re making a very narrow point and asking people to just watch an entire YouTube channel (and one where the subject goes on and on and on an about everything) to hopefully find proof?
Narrow point? The argument was that Google themselves don't fix the smart watch, but Apple wouldn't do such a thing. My point is that Apple does the same. How else would you want the counter arguments to be?
I presentes you Louis Rosmann, a subject expert in the field and one of whole world's leading advocate on right to repair. His channel has investigations on thousands of right to repair violations and scams from companies. What else would you expect? You don't want trust a random commenter on the internet but you also don't want to listen to the leading advocate in this domain either? Then maybe use the search function in YouTube, Google or in ChatGPT because please don't expect the said random commenter to spend their own time curating to spoon feed you information.
if you have a timed stamp example of the point that would be one thing. Citing an entire channel, and particularly one where he rambles on forever is a bad source.
I just came across a specific video and I remembered your comment. This whole video is good but you can start watching from 8:42 and 10:49 marks since you requested for a timestamp.

And if you have 24 minutes to spare here is another video with packed full of examples.
