Cars aren’t exactly a good example on how to curb enshittification, as the car industry pioneered enshittification and found a way around regulations every time so far. Some regulations are even actively aiding further enshittification, as they require a truckload of electronics with software that is entirely under the manufacturer’s control.
While that might be so, I can still buy original spare parts for my 25 years old car and I could still service it at official repair shop if I wanted to.
The fact these companies can release a $200 router or a $1000 smartphone and completely stop all security updates after only a few years is insane.
It should be regulated similar to how cars are regulated - with mandatory service and spare parts for many years.
