I agree with you.
This is very common throughout the world now days as there are very few new-generation individuals who want to learn a trade.
Circuit boards, mechanical parts, generators, compressors, motors; almost nobody will rebuild these, they are all "core" products swapped-out and sent back for rebuild.
