The simple answer is “REFUSE TO BUY THE SHIT!”

"For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong." -- H.L. Mencken

The reality is, individual boycotts don't do shit because people who care about their property rights are outnumbered by dipshit consumer whores by a dozen to one (if not worse). The only way to actually fix this is regulatory action by the FTC to outlaw this shit as the blatantly obvious violation of the doctrine of first sale that it is.

Also an obvious indicator of the need for something comparable to the GDPR to keep this shit manageable going forward.

The problem solves itself with decent right to repair

Sounds like we need a reduction in dipshits!
