Neither case is easy. Making something "simple" like a new control arm or connecting rod is way beyond a typical garage shop. The electronics are not a home shop item either but replacing parts with work-alike modules is already something people do with aftermarket ECUs etc. As long as there is enough demand people will find a way to make the parts (to supply aftermarket), for example I expect the first gen NSX to be repairable for decades.
