Why do appliance repairs (dishwasher, laundry, fridge, etc.) seemingly cost as much as the appliances themselves?

Anyone saying expertise in the repair is not true. Yes it does take expertise and that adds on to the cost but it’s really because the cost of the needed part is controlled by the company and they want you to buy new.
It’s so over priced purposely to make repairs not worth it. They also make it so everything is so connected that a small break can require a whole big replacement of a part. It’s all planned out.
A small circuit board for the appliance can cost 800 dollars which is outrages. That is the true reason why it isn’t worth repairing. It should cost like at most 150 with already a hefty profit margin.
So let’s say that plus the technician cost of 200 so out the door 350 which is reasonable. But nope.
