I don’t think you’re wrong in a sense, but everyone has a phone and phones break all the time. Some of those places will do the job cheaper and quicker, even same day. And first party repairs can be either extortionate (Apple) or laughable/impossible/non-existent (Google, Samsung etc.)
I assume those janky phone /electronics repair places are money laundering.
Yeah that’s my take on most of these as well.

Agreed, but there’s some shops in my town (HCOL area) and there’s never a soul in there. Just makes you wonder how they are paying the sky high rent.
