You can't trust the beneficence of Apple. Right to repair to them actually means Right to sell repair kits with only Genuine Parts exclusively sourced from Apple. It's just another profit center for them.

Right to sell repair kits

it's worse than that
they rent them to you for ~$40 for a week and put a holding charge on you for over a grand in case you return the repair kit damaged
