There is an alternate answer for most of those reasons you give here.
First, a physical location is a physical location. Whether or not it is made from "brick and mortar." Parts suppliers are not simply pulling parts out of thin air. They have to be stored someplace. Whether it is at the manufacturer or a warehouse in the middle of no place, they still have to come from some place. No manufacturer is going to drop ship their product one piece at a time, each piece to a different location. Not happening. They want to sell their product in volume and all to one place as much as possible.
Also, they cannot sell parts unless they have them readily available. That means that they have to be stored in a physical building. Note that I do not have to say "brick and mortar" 20 times. That building can be located in a low tax area, but still has to be reasonably convenient to shipping and receiving.
Much of the markup that dealers and local parts houses charge is because they are in a constant state of flux. Notice how many buildings are continually being remodeled, added on to, or simply just torn down and replaced. Who do you suppose pays for all of that?
Granted, an online seller has lower overhead. But, the local sellers do no0t have so much more overhead as to have to charge 10 times as much as the online sellers.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
