Most people have never had to replace the starter in their automobile, but the ones that have sure are glad it's not spitefully welded in place just to make things difficult for them.
If I remember correctly the replacing the alternator in a 2006 VM Touareg is something like that. Something like a 6k job if you have a shop do it because it requires dropping the engine. Also the alternator is liquid cooled and costs over 1k just by itself.
A vehicle starter's lifespan relative to the lifespan of the whole vehicle is probably very different than that of a component of a laptop relative to the laptop itself. As well as the cost of repair relative to the cost of buying new.
