I can't see iFixit making guides pros like us would use since it's still a noob site. Good luck getting a noob to replace a GPU with a 2,000$ machine. For them, it's more practical to replace the whole board and not the GPU. Some of them might do some board level troubleshooting, but the people who do it are probably not using these guides anyway.
I don't know yet. Maybe people will be interested in board level repair and GPU replacements. Only the future will tell. And by GPU replacements I don't mean running like a bunch of children to buy motherboards on eBay, CL or stealing them from MacBooks with cracked glass/display, or even both. Screw that. I mean getting on a BGA rework machine with a BGA package putting the work in to use the same board but replace the dead GPU only.

The people in this industry know how to remove a motherboard, use a multimeter and replace boards. We're interested in board level repair. We don't give a crap about replacing a whole board over one dead part, or even fried GPU because Apple didn't coll the 2011 MacBook Pro correctly.

We don't give a crap about replacing a whole board over one dead part, or even fried GPU because Apple didn't cool the 2011 MacBook Pro correctly and like ignoring it until they get hit with a lawsuit.
I sure don't count on iFixit selling BGA chips anytime soon. That probably won't happen.
I use iFixit to get tools. I was turned off of the [https://meta.ifixit.com/Answers/View/5823/A+bit+of+thought%28and+advice%29+for+the+ignorance+in+Answers%2C+etc...|Answers thread 8 months ago], but I would still use them for tools. Maybe even parts at times. But the current state of guides? No way. I can replace a battery without a guide. I can replace a motherboard without a guide. You know how I do it? I do it by using my brain, because for me I was terrible at math and stuff in Highschool but put me near a laptop and I got it. I can also do it because I spent my time learning how to do this, so naturally I don't need a manual.
