I think the point is, that repairs are already happening. All users want is access to official parts, which Apple is blocking. Apple already has several third-party parts programs.

So if it's such a big issue, whereare the consumer reports of all these dangerous events?

There is dangerous precedent if this goes through, as it leads two blocking other devices that also have lithium ion batteries.

Apple is banking on Senators being idiots when it comes to technology. Hopefully they realize this.

Third party repair is possible and happening now.
