Apple's repairs are extremely expensive for certain things like non-display cosmetic damage (it costs more to fix a broken back glass or housing scratches than an actual broken screen) and relies on an Apple Store (or AASP) being available and you being able to get to it and back or ship your phone off and wait for days. I have the skills & equipment to do my own repairs and would like the option to do so (in fact, I'm doing so anyway using knockoff or grey-market parts that do the job just fine, but would consider using official parts if the pricing & terms were acceptable).
