It's not complicated.
- Go to an Apple Store and have them replace it for you.
- Go to a third party repair store at your own risk
- Do it yourself in the official Apple recommended way
I'm not sure what people want. It used to be easier until the iPhone 6S, starting from the iPhone 7 in 2017 Apple started gluing the screens to make them waterproof. That's the complicating part. I'm pretty sure 99% of the customers would rather have the phone to be waterproof then easier to repair.

Apple can't win here it seems.
