This is about licensing the use of the apple logo, which makes it really bizarre, there's no way using a logo of a product you repair for a repair service isn't fair use, right?
There's a case to be made that it suggests some kind of affiliation with the company. A consumer may think he's an officially licensed repairman.
It'd be a stronger case if it was just the logo of the product, not the logo of the company.
Yeah there's plenty of reasons to hate Apple's anti-consumer repair/third party repair policies. We don't need to be inventing fake ones too.
