While "right to repair" may be part of it, the bigger issue with selling to "consumers" is thet many HPAK products are safety and or EMC certified to professional / idustrial standards so the lawers are technically correct in saying they can't sell those to consumers and it's easier to do a blanket ban. They should have an avenue for professional individuals. Arguably, in the UK at least licenced radio amateurs are "competent" to use such items from a EMI point at least.
Interestingly in the UK Raspberry Pi limited terms and conditions clearly state that they are B2B only. However they sell to anyone and have a retail shop in Cambridge. I asked in the shop and they said the T&C on the website were the only ones.
Keysight have lost my business personally (not much :-) ) but I have also moved any work purchases awayfrom them. In both cases R&S is the main alternative.
