I’m not saying it’s the answer to all of this, but read up on the philosophical differences between the Free Software and Open Source movements.

It’s hard for me to understand how people in movements like repairability, anti obsolescence, open source, open hardware, and similar causes, can have such views. It seems so contradictory… and yet, so common.

There are plenty of people who are smart with tech and engineering but not very smart with people, society and politics. And engineers sometimes develop a tendency to see all life’s messiness and difficulties as engineering problems to be fixed. If you’re looking at it that way, it’s easy to become either a tankie or a fascist, because both offer neat engineering solutions that promise to make life work cleanly.
