I would guess that they have a few reasons for that decision. And the biggest reason is that they want to protect their reputation. While a repair would probably be cheaper, it also wouldn't look as good, and may take longer than a direct replacement. There are also some liability concerns if the repaired frame broke. It is definitely good that they stand behind their products though.
