Sorry about that. You bought another LG G2 or go for another device?

Hopefully, there will be parts available for every device, but if the manufacturers do not make these parts available through aftermarket, or factory direct sales, their customers that wish to perform repairs will be left out in the cold.
I think the best way to frame this problem, is that the company desires to sell new devices, or at the least, refurbished ones through a secondary supply chain.
Service components should always be available, but sadly, there are many devices that have little to no external support through any supply chains.
A different view might be from a real lack of available parts due to production using up the 'resources' and none are available for resale.

Well , take care with your new LG G2 and new screen. You are right , it's bad it can't be repaired.

Sell it on ebay as a broken screen phone. Describe it as it is, somebody will buy for parts or repair it.

I bought my Note 3 thru Costco. I paid $100 up front for 2 years insurance. They will replace it multiple times for damage (I think that it is 4 but don't have the contract in front of me).

I did buy 1 year insurance with new phone,but am still amazed that a company can put out such a great phone,yet it can't be repaired

I hope you have better luck with the new phone

Parts are definitely available: LG Optimus G2 LS980 VS980 LCD Screen with Digitizer Touch Panel Black | eBay

I nearly went this route and bought a cracked screen phone myself to repair so I could avoid losing unlimited data. Then I realized that I only use 2.5 gb MAX EVER (typically around 1 gb a month for me) and said screw it and got a new one for free from big red.
