Today there are some great valves with very little brass in them, but there are so many different variations in how they work, it is hard to repair one.

If it's too easy to repair, they don't get to sell as many new replacements.

Correct.

But in my opinion, good design is simple and reliable.

Very little of the stuff (most off shored) today has a long life and none of it is simple to fix.
