I'm not entirely convinced of this argument because there is a thing called fair use that lets you use parts of copyrighted material for instance to criticize the work of someone else or even to create new stuff.
He wasn't publishing anywhere said schematics, he would only show a minor part of them relevant to what he wanted to fix or explain (consider that laptop schematics are very big, usually encompassing a hundred of pages) so this is certainly fair use.

Which is wrong, because having schematics is the only way for a technician to repair something in a reasonable amount of time and money. Without schematics repairing a complex thing such as laptop's motherboards is almost impossible so this has to belong to the user who purchases an electronic device. And this comes to the right to repair you were mentioning.
It is also against the same basic principles that made Apple (and pretty much the whole micro computer industry) in the first place. There are several videos of Apple's founder Woz around the web mentioning how important it was for him to be able to learn, share info with others and thinker with electronics freely during those days... without it there would be no Apple so whoever inside Apple thinks that sharing Apple's schematics is wrong is going against the same spirit that made Apple possible.
Said this, you are probably right in this one, so i would recommend to contact Wozniak and ask for his intervention perhaps via his Twitter account https://mobile.twitter.com/stevewoz
I'll write an email to his personal email address (not sure if public or not so i can't share).
