True, I guess I can only presume the motives. Just so we are clear, I always 
encourage my customers to learn, I frequently loan out my tools, and I've given 
instruction to DIY types whenever I've been asked, all for free. Lighten up.

"Cheapness" may not be exactly the right word. More like fear of an unknown 
outcome. "My bike is making a funny noise. If I take it to the bike shop, they 
might charge me a fortune." Mostly people are pleasantly surprised that I can 
fix the problems they've been tolerating, maybe for years, with a $10 
adjustment or with a basic tune up, etc. 

By all means, learn to work on your bike. But also try to be mindful of your 
limitations. It's not always easy to know, of course, until its too late.
