It's not like it's that much better with other automakers. I have a 2008 Prius touchscreen that could use replacement. From the manufacturer, you're looking at 700-1k for that repair, on a car that is worth possibly 3k. I could search through a junkyard for a replacement, but even then, I'm possibly spending 15% of the value of the car on a non-essential repair.

Getting specialized/rare parts in general is just a pricy proposition. It's a sad fact of buying machines these days.
