Incorrect.
While it is a relatively new service (2022-ish), Apple sell battery replacement kits for iPhone models as far back as the iPhone 12 (2020 model line). They also sell other replacement parts, and they offer inexpensive tools rentals for repairs which require more extensive work such as screen replacement.
I cannot speak to Google or Samsung as I have no interest in their offerings.
