And just as importantly, phones are practically irreparable. Phone dropped and screen cracked? Good luck, unless it's an old Android (which don't prompt before allowing their storage to be mounted). Laptop dropped and snapped in half? Just take out the drive and put it in another computer.
I'm not sure why you would make this claim. I've replaced the screen on my partners phone in a couple of hours with no previous experience. There's an entire industry of phone repair and data recovery.
I don't know what kind of phone you have but that's just not true. OnePlus for instance will replace your screen for £89 even on a brand new OnePlus 7 Pro, and it takes about 5 days to get it back.
