I literally went through this same thought process "boy math" when the camera on my iPhone 12 Pro broke. I'm not sure how long your warranty is but my phone was fully out of warranty. I ended up going to a store called "iPhone Repair Gods" and they fixed it for $200 which was the move.
Will definitely be looking into "Right to Repair." Really enjoyed everything you've written so far!
I use "boy math" as an excuse for all sorts of financially irresponsible decisions, but doing my best to follow your example and actually hold onto my tech for a bit longer by getting them repaired or batteries replaced.
