I think laypeople overestimate how hard replacing computer parts is.

Especially on laptops today (although consumer ones can still suck).

No vendor wants to have their support burning time for simple things like a keyboard.

I can probably do a Dell Latitude in 10 minutes now. I recently had to do a shitty HP consumer keyboard and had to take it apart - though it wasn't terrible to do.
