TL;DR: a repair shop owner from Germany managed to create a tool to calibrate the display angle sensor (used to trigger sleeping on Macs when the lid is closed)

It just seems to me that Martin is arguing on technicalities. Ultimately for the end user, regardless of the why behind parts not working when swapped, the parts are not replaceable, and Apple does not make the required tools available (such as calibration software) so that third party repair can be done properly. It's still anti repair for the end user.

For one it’s just technicalities for another it’s the distinction between a company going out of their way to block repairs or a company just not caring and mainly focussing on their own repair process.
