100% this.
Replace a ~$20 part with a ~$150 part, and you can avoid spending up to $1000 sending a repair crew, paying for the vehicle, gas, employee pay, time spent by them, etc. to a single unit.
You'd be lying through your teeth if you think a fleet of off the shelf raspis will last more than 5 years without most failing.
Anyone well versed in cost management within technology will know this.
