They will take the cheapest part they can get to be competitive and make as much money from the repair. Furthermore anyone with a little time can learn to do these repairs and you end up a hyper competitive market where the customer suffers. This ends with what happened to Dan and myself. Apple part is € 180, we can do it for €109. You a get a non-oleophobic, sunglasses-funky, replacement that looks the part on the surface.

Apple deliberate prevents this happening by literally shredding the phones. This limits the amount of genuine parts available at low prices. It also uses "part pairing" to prevent genuine, working parts being used. These practices directly lead to a lack of availability of genuine parts for repair. That is not forgiveable, in my book.
