How do you figure? The screen costs Apple roughly $200. So they don't have to hire skilled technicians, they replace the whole top of the laptop, so some backlight, cover, wiring, case...still well under $500.
The actual reason is they don't want Macbook components floating around on the grey market, so they make the pricing for significant repairs impossible to justify.
