That way, 3rd parties could create/replicate/repair boards and controllers in low quantities as needed; or at least have the opportunity to do so.
Most controllers can be repaired and most wiring harnesses can be duplicated. The problem with that is that it often means your machine is down for 2 or more weeks while you take the board out and send it away to get repaired.
The solution to that problem is to have backup machines available, either your own or not being scared to rent something when needed.
How long will 90s and 2000s equipment be reliable?
