When you figure in the manufacturing "cost", it is better for the environment to rebuild a good machine multiple times than, throw it away and buy several new inexpensive ones.

EXACTLY!!!
But people who do that any more are in the very, very small minority. I can almost totally- maybe even totally if I was in a more populated area or worked harder at it- live in luxury by scavenging what slobs throw away. It never ceases to amaze me at how much discarded stuff I find that only needs minor repair- or even NO repair, just clean up!!!- to be perfectly functional.
There are tens of thousands or maybe even millions of small engines out there but we haven't made the jump from gas to diesel.
