It’s ridiculous. For example, I recently discovered that Rockshox Charger 2.1 dampers are not officially serviceable, and if you do something like tear a bladder (not an uncommon issue), the official fix is a whole new $500 damper rather than a $30 part.
If you ride a lot, serviceability should definitely be a consideration. Everything breaks eventually.
