I agree. OEM should be able to specify "OEM recommended repair provider" but the owner of the device should be able to authorize any party they want to trust to repair their device.

The real problem here is that Samsung is using patents to do this. If they tried to use their trademarks or copyright, they couldn't prevent 3rd party parts which are clearly marked as 3rd party parts. However, overly broad patents being the catch-all for practically anything allows Samsung to prevent any competition for their parts. It doesn't matter if the 3rd party manufacturers are actually using the patented technology to manufacture the parts because too broad patents basically cover anything. And invalidating already granted patents is next to impossible in many countries thanks to judges not understanding the issue. This is about Samsung using nuclear weapons called patents against everybody else. The patent system was originally created to allow society to benefit from publishing inventions and in response the original inventor got limited time monopoly for their invention. However, currently it appears that patents are simply causing huge harm to society on all industries. The current patent system should be torn down but it's an international system similar to copyright system where the Berne Convention was supposed to be ongoing process to tweak the rules to balance the benefit to society vs benefit for the IP owner. However, in practice the Berne Convention is dead in water and we're locked in the rules from the 1980's which match really poorly with modern internet. In addition, patent system never even had anything close to Berne Convention so the rules have been broken always.
