Right to root, is right to repair.

I'm all for having the right to repair.
I'm not convinced any of the folks involved ability to root would prevent the situation described.

Once the system is compromised the best repair is a full reset (and even better swapping the device, not that the restore image has been tampered with ...) root powers are needed for analysis. But that's nothing a normal user can do ...
But on the larger point: I agree there should be an option for suers to replace firmware and become root. But limiting root access makes work for Pegasus and others harder, which is good.
