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.
It should be regulated similar to how cars are regulated - with mandatory service and spare parts for many years.

They have not found a way around it every time.
They all have seat belts
They all have ODB2 ports

The “official repair shop” isn’t the issue.
It would be third party repair shops. And amazingly you can.
Right to repair has done some good in this world
Yeah but, at least in my country, cars can’t be on the road (which would be the internet in this case), without passing the periodic inspection.
