This is nonsense. Building satellite components need to invest heavily on measurement and testing facilities, many of which are expensive. Without enough business, no one will be willing to spend on these facilities.
For example, multipaction needs to be tested in a 'vacuum' environment, so does thermal testing. Even if you do the design but send the components overseas for testing a lot of money needs to be spent.
