In some cases, sure. My anecdote:

Electric car. Horn keeps failing. $15 part, $900 to do the work. Why? Because to get to the horn, the entire front end of the car has to be disassembled, including the hood, bumper, fenders, you name it.

My fuel car’s horn assembly is easily accessed through the engine bay with a single bolt to remove it.

Efficiencies in one area seem to have led to extraordinarily difficult repair abilities elsewhere.

I won’t even go into how the air filters are replaced — but it starts with removing the dashboard…
