They do sell all of the components online though and at good prices. It's not hard to get replacement parts. I've even seen Voron and ratrig people making mods to use bambulabs spare parts in their custom machines because they are way more affordable than comperable high performance parts from other sources.
There are also clone parts now. Which atleast should serve the purpose of being available when Bambulabs doesn't have stock/stops selling them.
I've been eyeing the hotend clones without the integrated nozzle as a nice lightweight option for a build that doesn't require a that high flow hotend.
