A minor picky –
The section of the schematic isn’t an Apple ][ or ][+, but an Apple //e or //c – these machines had Apple’s first two custom chips, the IOU shown in the partial schematic, and the companion MMU. These were laid out by hand by Walt Broedner, and contained all the logic of the earlier Apple ][, and then some.
Does that “right to repair” imply access to theory of ops as wll as parts? If you look at the partial schematic shown, the IOU and MMU had a slew of undocumented pin out (and bond out) options, such as support of other than 64k DRAMs.
Right to repair is important, but is unlikely to directly “enable” consumers. Even though I do surface mount assembly and repair at home, I don’t have the equipment necessary to replace, for example a 2mm x 2mm flat pack on a dense double-sided board such as in an iPhone.
