I don't know, I kind of get the security and theft deterrent angle. It's even something I'm willing to pay extra for — I mean, a phone is not a toaster, there's lots of important personal and work stuff on the phone, passwords, documents. None of my Apple devices has ever had to be repaired, but if something happens to my iPhone's Face ID camera tomorrow, I'm heading straight to an authorized shop, no way I'm letting some shopping mall booth tech take chances with something this important.
