They probably know that they have better expertise in repairing, all the necessary instruments, etc. Even if they mess up one part themselves, they can get another one and complete repairs. You, however, don't have that luxury. Considering time they are saving to you, their repair is a cheaper option as it leaves you more time to do something else.
They also leave you the option to source material from eBay. Buying an old K-x is such a bargain today and it leaves you with plenty of other parts to play with in the future. In each case, you are better off with their new policy.
no just no!! I cannot believe what I just read...honestly...just... WHAT????? are you so emotionally insecure as to believe what you wrote...it sounded like a brainwashed manifesto of a cult follower...the company knows what is best for you...you do not need independent thought....you are only as good as the company allows you to be...what drivel! I kept looking for the sarcasm tag but couldn't find it...please tell me it was all poorly formed joke.
Ok where to begin?

seems innocuous to begin with but when thought about a little more rather ominous

False...with the part in hand I can complete the needed repair in less than the time it would take me to box up the camera and take it be shipped...10-15 minutes MAX. very simple a few screws and simple electrical connector...I have already taken it apart to diagnose the issue and reassembled in less time than it would take to have it sent off.

So your solution is for people to obtain unverified, unreliable, and presumably already defective items to Frankenstein a working camera....sounds like a very bad solution to simple problem. I find it hard to believe this solution is offered in good faith.

you may believe it but that does not make it to be true. I personally am worse off as has already been explained to you. Are you a marketing shill for Pentax...honestly I am beginning to wonder with some of the replies like yours here...something smells rotten in Denmark! The platitudes you are offering are very disingenuous.
