I highly disagree. The government does not require anything that cannot be made in a cheap, repairable, and still attractive looking manner.
The electronic complexity of cars hasn't gone up "70%" due to government regulation.
We managed to switch from carbs to EFI while still retaining a high degree of repairability. The electronic complexity of cars then went up infinitely (from nearly zero electronics to a computer controlling the engine), yet the cars were still very repairable. Sure, there were people complaining at the time, because it was new and there was a learning curve, but parts were available, and we mechanics/DIYers weren't arbitrarily locked out.
As time went on, that repairability waned, primarily due to artificial means.
