No, that's not good enough. "Right to repair" is kind of an unfortunate name, because it really shouldn't be just about repair. My property rights include a right to modify, too, and letting manufacturers off the hook by doing first-party replacements instead of facilitating work by third-parties is not sufficient to protect that right!
I'd settle for first party repair and a repair window of up to 20 years.
Modification is great and should always be legal... But I'd take the win to get away from so much throwaway technology.
