Apple Store isn‘t the only place where things can be fixed. There are authorised service centres, like Gravis in Germany.
And the parts? Just went to iFixit, they‘re all there to buy. I‘m sure anybody serious about fixing these things professionally can source the parts.

- jabwork 8y agoEven Apple had the famous episode of releasing an update that bricked phones with replacement parts that weren't sanctioned. They reversed it after much public outcry. For less common hardware the situation is just as bad. Agriculture equipment has been a pain point for many to get repaired, as the parts are much harder to find and the limited number of certified repair shops can be pressured to stop servicing equipment deemed end of life by the manufacturer
- unreal37 8y agoAt least try to understand the issue, even if you don't agree. Maybe it's OK to you to live in a world where you car can only be repaired by the dealer. "No big deal!" A valid opinion. But that's fine until they want to charge you $2000 for something you can do yourself. Thank god the dealer will sell you the part and you can do that. Let me do it even if you don't want to.
