It's more a matter of cost efficiency.
I fix stuff all the time.
Somehow, a fix is never QUITE as good as the original.
You'd need your own factory to have all the tools needed to re-fab a device perfectly.
It's more cost efficient to recycle simple electronics than try to repair them.
Mostly because to REALLY repair electronics you need an electronics engineer, who will then have to spend a couple hours tinkering... for what may end up being a one-off.
It just costs too much to do.
