I would have never thought of that on my own. My brain just doesn't work that way.

I figured there was a perfectly good logical reason for all of this.

I can certainly understand the need for repair skills though. A dressmaker or a tailor could save a fortune on repair and servicing bills if they can maintain their own equipment!

Or you could always moonlight as one of those sewing machine repair people that charge 150 dollars an hour for labour.
