Apple is doing all of this to save about $100 per iPhone: https://www.vox.com/technology/2018/9/13/17851052/apple-ipho...

Do anybody here seriously think that people would not buy if it would cost $100 more?

I don't even think it's that much. Most of the work could be done by robots anywhere in the world. It's not like much of it is being done by hand as it is - the SMD components on the PCB are barely visible to the human eye nowadays. To their credit, they are moving some of their production to India, after India forced them to. Maybe the United States should do the same.
