don’t you welcome the spirit of all those pesky regulations?

  Those regulations are buying down risk. Sure, they could buy them from Home Depot without those regulations. But how do they know they were manufactured to spec? How do they know the manufacturer used the correct alloy? You aren’t paying for “regulations” you’re paying for quality pedigree. This is also why aerospace work is so expensive. The industry has determined the supply risk is too great without a verifiable level of quality. Quality is expensive, but not as expensive as failure in these industries.
