>yes and taking on huge liabilities isn't cost effective
Someone has to have responsibility somewhere anyway, and the best way to avoid issues is to do your job properly and invest into society so that retards don't eat batteries otherwise you might have to stick notices like "don't eat this battery", wait !!

>still doesn't prevent
Yes but that creates liabilities.

>but that's not what people who want to be economically competitive choose
Yes but that's moronic to do so, in the end you end up killing your workspace, in my region there's literally only 1 repair pc shop and the rest are pajeet phone stores that have almost all closed now because they can't backup data.
You have to consider the return of investment not only for yourself, but also for the customer.
Why would a customer pay for 120$ repair if he can get a new laptop for 200$ ?

>f it's forbidden as you say then those third party spare parts shouldn't exist
Yes we can exist, that doesn't mean we can do our work properly, or even legally, half a decade ago a company in my region closed because MS sued him because it's not legal to take a OEM key and install it on a new laptop/pc even tho it's the same customer.
We can also talk about schematics, which we don't have, legally. Or apple stuff which is also non legal to repair outside "certified" centers. Or the manufacturer of hardware who don't make their drivers to be interoperable/public etcetera...
