Maybe I'm not able to see things from the corporate perspective but Apple seems to be avoiding doing things that would make their brand look much more positive.

Ease of access to repair/self repair.

Implementing a common standard for charging ports.

I guess it's all about money. Monopolising the repairs. Making accessories and charging more...

    Do you mean the fundamental? Why do you think so??🤔

      Therefore making all of it expensive and causing huge inconveniences and costs for users.
      Which to me seems counter intuitive as a global brand.

      i.e. controlling who gets to repair their devices "officially" (voiding warranty if repairs are done "unofficially" and licensing "official" accessories (earphones for lightning jack)

      I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I'm just stating the business model that Apple runs on.

    Mayb they have the monopoly power to do that

      of course, it's one of their profit streams: trying to keep everything in house.
      licensing who gets to repair their devices and who gets to produce "official" accessories
