Exactly this. The amount of time, effort, labor, sourcing tools, parts, coupled with education, or making a costly mistake, etc... The warranty or repair person is actually cheaper if you're able to put a price on your time. They also do better work in most cases.

I just leave it to the professionals because it saves me money/time. I have no doubts I could do my own repair but from this vantage point it's just not a sound investment.

That's fair enough. Everyone has a different cost/benefit analysis based on their own situation.

Some people have more money than time, some have more time than money. And there are a million other factors too.
