I would argue that they aren't anti right-to-repair. They are against poor quality repairs.
The issue is if you let individuals and 3rd party stores do repairs, there is no way to validate that they are doing it in a reliable/quality fashion. This is especially problematic when phones are getting more and more resilient to various environments (Like the addition of IP68)
When a customer has a repair done poorly and issues come up, they come to Apple for support.
