Is this the end of Barbie doll pricing for printers?

New printers are NOT charging a high price for refills of ink. (WSJ, March 2021) My question is, "What took so long?" Were consumers unable to look ahead and then reason back?

Look ahead and reason back

Tractor manufacturers are trying to lock farmers into getting repairs from their dealers. (WSJ, March 2021) One question is, "Were the manufacturers hoping to use Barbie doll pricing?"

This article finds that right to repair legislation can result in a lose-lose-lose outcome.

1. Consumers may lose because manufacturers increase the price of the tractor when the link between tractor sales and revenues from repairs decreases. 
2. Producers may lose because the increase in the price of tractors fails to offset the lose of revenue from repairs. 
3. The environment may also lose.
