As well as all the practical and environmental reasons there is also the joy it brings to both the owner (client) of the thing, and the repairer.
And often the joy is as important for a sewing repair, an unblocked vacuum cleaner, or a small piece of furniture as in the thread link below.

Attached: 1 image This morning, I was able to return the Oak chair to a very happy client at Levenshulme Repair Cafe. She was very pleased and enjoyed having a copy of the write-up of the repair process. To add to the history of a sentimental piece of furniture. #RepairCafe #FurnitureRepair #Levenshulme #Repair
