Bicycles are not 'designed to be serviceable by a home mechanic' though. You might think they are because you are one of the minority of the population who have the practical skills to do so, but they're not.
Or perhaps you'd like to explain the existence, nay the shortage, of professional bicycle mechanics.

Could it be because too many people do their own maintenance?

You think there is a national shortage of qualified cycle mechanics because too many people are doing their own maintenance?
Wouldn't it be the other way around? If everyone was doing their own maintenance then the cycle mechanics would all be standing around twiddling their thunbs.
A shortage of cycle mechanics suggests to me that very few people do their own mechanics - a fact borne out by a glance at any of the bikes wheeled into your local bike shop's workshop every day of the week.

I'll just shoot myself now. I have no idea what I thought I read. I can only blame it on no sleep and replying while watching the TdF.

Whether or not the OP has a valid point about his damaged bike.

Ah, so.
He has a very strong case in my view.
