I totally agree with you sir and I am a retired shade tree mechanic of my equipment. Gone are those days.
I also understand that you are speaking from the service supply side. Understand your frustration. Same thing happened to me in industry. Everything went digital, I didn't want to work with said equipment so I retired.
However, I'd rather have the whistles and bells on my personal equipment and have to have it serviced by my local dealer if that's the price I have to pay to have it. However, for me, reliability has gone up as the auto industry for one has finally decided to send it out the door 100% rather than send it out halffast and let the dealer fix the remaining percentage.
That is why my current truck is a Chevy. The nearest dealer is a Chevy dealer. But it's a family owned business for 45 years in a small town and the son, current owner, gave me his card when he sold me the truck and said "if you need me, call me". Yea verily he has a repair shop but so what. He gets to make a living too. Course I have the new fangled gadget called Onstar that operates on new technology that I didn't have in any previous vehicle. Mighty comforting.
