That sounds like something the big players want you to believe because they're butthurt about being made to produce decent quality products instead of landfill.
And there's still a lot of landfill being sold in Europe; legally they're required to honor warranty requests, but in practice this shit is so cheap that the store front just gives people a replacement device or a refund (in store credit); the products get bundled up and either just discarded outright or returned to the supplier / importer, where I guess some money trades hands.
But there will be no attempts at repair, it's just not worth it.
