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.

They have not found a way around it every time.

They all have seat belts

They all have ODB2 ports

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.

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.
