Exactly and this is why Apple pairs the front part (and various other parts) to the motherboard. To make it easier or something. Got it

I’m fairly sure that you have to plug in your monitor to your desktop PC, otherwise it is kind of hard to.. you know, use it.

Yeah. And I'd like to get to the same state with iPhones :-) So they let me connect another monitor to my phone without hardwiring it together.

Honestly, if they cared about "best user experience", they would have done digital signature of the LCD/cable and if OEM was detected, they could display something like "Hey, someone tampered with your phone and changed the screen using OEM parts". If not, they coud say "Hey, someone tampered with your phone and replaced screen with an unoriginal one. You might see some degradation in quality because of that".
