Phones tend to get pretty nice treatment compared to bikes. Bikes are constantly stepped on and rubbed against pavement.

Because if something goes wrong with your phone you probably won't be able to fix it. Compared to a bike where most anything can be repaired.

It's a single unit, you just replace it, like you would a broken gear. You can't fix a broken gear unless you weld it.
