There's production: You have to produce a large number of parts in a production run. If you sell a small number, that's a lot of waste.
And there's storage: Storing things in warehouses costs money per year. I've heard figures well above $1 per part and year. If you use half a warehouse for storing things that will eventually not be used, you're wasting that warehouse and spending money to do it.

I've heard that it also prevents fake parts, ones made in a similar way to what you can read about at https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?page_id=1022 https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?page_id=1022 Would you say that's a bigger or smaller effect than not being able to use parts from a broken phone?
