What we need is regulation. These companies will not show ethical behaviour on their own.
See e.g. right to repair, USB-C.
Regulation with fines exceeding the profits made on the product.
No more static fines, or fines that are anything less than 100% of the profits made on breaching the regulations.
I believe the way EU enforces those regulations is through a supply chain sales ban. Banned products are just not sold here.
Fines are for software products and behaviours which.
