Ok, you can go to a different shop and install a counterfeit part. That’s better? Yeah, that was a case of repairing an old iPhone where I live. You had two options: a genuine Apple display and a really genuine Apple display. The first option would be a low quality counterfeit, and the second was a quality counterfeit. If you had to be sure it was a genuine Apple display, you had to go to the shop that pays $$$ to Apple. Period.
I don’t have a slightest idea how allowing school dropoffs to scam people is better. Some safety measures have to be there.

That is a disingenuous argument. There is a middle ground between paying Apple markup for Apple branded parts and counterfeit parts.
I can buy perfectly good, sometimes much better than OEM quality parts for my car. They are not counterfeit. They are just parts made by a supplier.
Apple doesn’t manufacture anything. There is no Apple factory. Everything is sourced from suppliers and assembled together. Those same suppliers could be selling the exact same quality parts for less without the Apple logo on them.
