No doubt some of the Genius Bar staff are *also* qualified repair
techs, but most are not.
The point was that the Genius Bar is not meant to be a tech repair
centre. Repairs are taken out the back to be done by qualified repair
staff.

You book the Genius Bar because you get a one-on-one consultation to
help solve an *unknown* problem.
The repair staff are not bookable because you drop off your broken
computer to be repaired when it can be (due to priorities, part
availability, etc.).
If you know your laptop needs a new battery, screen, etc., then there
no point wasting a Genius Bar timeslot. Simply take it straight to the
repair department.
