These devices can still be fixed, if only using specialized tools. However, it's another issue when manufacturers deliberately make these devices more difficult to fix such as using security screws.
Many of the modern smartphones can still be fixed as are laptops.
However, these repair shops only exist if they have the schematic and parts available.
it's not an efficiency issue. It's planned obsolescence.
