It was easier to pass an automotive right to repair passed in Massachusetts in 2012 than it was to start a successful auto company that could have anywhere near the same impact.
The car companies, threatened by having to comply with different laws in different states, came to an agreement that the car companies would follow the Massachusetts law across the US.
You can watch individuals and dealers etc "tune" trucks now as a direct consequence of that 10 year old law passing.
There's no obligation for the law to preserve brand value when considering an anti-monopoly case. Standard Oil wasn't broken apart because of gung-ho oil companies.
