The issue with that is it leaves no room for paying the engineers who actually designed the device. The cost of designing the parts is really expensive. I have no issue with a small markup. I definitely agree though that the costs shouldn't be so absurdly prohibitive to repair though.
I think that it would still leave room for engineers to be paid a living wage. After all they aren't getting paid for designing parts, they're getting paid to design a product made of interoperable parts
