>It's a good feeling knowing you can repair that hunk of metal on your wrist, with interest, and a fair amount of study. That... goes for everything, software included.

They wouldn't want to sell parts for that reason, I think. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veblen_good https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veblen_good
