I think I have personally fixed my last three phones, my current one is so far undamaged. I'm clumsy and break phone screens too often.

I have kept old fishing gear in service where my friends replace their gear every few years.

I did maintenance and mechanical repair on my cars before they went electric.

My computer keyboard is currently on "the healing bench" waiting for the correct size LEDs, as I destroyed the LED for a key role replacing its switch

I really hate throwing stuff out when a minor but vital part is broken.

Better repairability also makes repair cheaper if you pay someone to do it
