Makes sense that catastrophic failure would cost more in parts and labor than buying a new one.  Same thing with a car, the reason why we have "totaling".
 
The answer is that if you're going to be abusive to your gear, buy the f-ing AppleCare and then it's relatively cheap and zero hassle.

Something costing $5000 better have parts available to have it repaired. The cost of the iMac is comparable to a car and cars must have parts available to fix it, even if they have to be imported. 

They are allowed to refuse to repair it themselves, according to their terms of services or whatever while redirecting people toward third party repair centers.
BUT, as Linus said in the video, even if the third parties were were to order the parts, they wouldn't be able to do the repair job on this product because it needs a certification from Apple, that doesn't even exist yet.
Because Apple release a product, demand certifications for the rights to repair them, yet doesn't provide said certification before or right after the launch of said product.
As such, Apple isn't exactly guilt free in this whole thing.

If I understood the video correctly, apple wasn't just refusing to fix it. Third party repair joints couldn't even fix it because they order their parts through apple who cant ship the parts because noone is certified yet to fix it.... so in my opinion Linus has every reason to be P.O'd the thing costs $5000..
