Prevent repair ? That’s simply not true. I run a shop on the side. Apple is the one who tries to prevent repairs in more than one way. Samsungs are actually the easiest to work on, all the same size screws, mostly modular and no encrypted / paired hardware to the phone. There may be like one exception where they tried some shit.

Most repair parts on their store page are permanently out of stock

They are also petitioning the government to ban all oled screen imports except direct from themselves, which will stop most sources for screen repairs
