For ICE vehicles sold new now and going forward, I think it'll be okay. Parts are available, and there are already diagnostic tools for sale that can work with the new CAN-FD protocol. I can hook up my laptop or a tablet to my cars (15 and 11 years old) and do pretty much anything the dealer can do. I can get parts from a variety of sources for a wide range of prices, part grades, etc.
But when things transition to full EV, I think cars will become more like consumer electronics than ever before. Not having Right to Repair is going to be a massive hinderance to keeping these new cars on the road past their manufacturer support periods.
