In a letter from its lobbyist, Apple 'urges' California lawmakers to pass the strongest right-to-repair law in the country.

I believe this is genuine support of the bill from Apple. Between Right to Repair winning in Massachusetts and the EU demanding compliance, I think Apple decided to flip the script. They would want to continue the illusion of customer friendly tech.
