Gotta be honest, it's really cool that Apple makes this available even though their hand was forced.
Like you said, their hand was forced.

They wouldn't be doing this at all if they didn't have to.

Nice to see this for the new models. However majority of the customers will never be using this and will be taking it to Apple.

Apple could greatly improve this program...
Improve it for whom? Apple absolutely does not want anyone to use this service, they would greatly prefer that units come back to them for repair. This program is a way to frighten the DIY people away, while maintaining minimal compliance with right to repair legislation. Making it a PITA to use is a feature, not a bug.

The only conceivable "improvement" Apple might consider would be to make the boxes heavier.

The $49 price is highly subsidized by Apple:



This program is more of a novelty that is made available for ‘niche’ use cases rather than a sustainable solution to repair your device

Apple could greatly improve this program - simply by allowing users to pickup (or return) that ⬆️ 97lb ‘repair kit’ to ANY Apple Store INSTEAD of requiring it to be sent back (via UPS or FedEx)
