They aren't. Apple is programming their phones to reject third party repair forcing the owner to go to apple for everything, meaning apple controls pricing, features and parts availability. Hugh Jeffreys does good teardown and repair assessments on lots of tech products, including apple. Regarding the other comment about iFixit, Jeffreys calls out iFixit (a sponsor) for their misleading apple repair scores and explains why.
