Spilled milk and took my macbookair 4 to apple today. They said to clean it would be $919. A new computer cost $999. This seems crazy to me. Is that what others are experiencing?

Original Title: Cleaning fee?
MacBook Air (M4, 2025)
Apple does not clean corrosion because corrosion cannot be cleaned. The affected components need to be replaced. The cost approaches that of a brand new Mac, therefore that fee is approximately correct.
I understand why a liquid spill would cost $919 to "repair". Most if not all components need replacing. I would not pay $919 to clean/repair any personal computer. I would buy a new computer.
I guess for this price, Apple will replace the whole unit. I'm afraid, Liquid damage can not be fixed and the risk of corrosion setting in after time is too high.
Is a $919 cleaning fee for spilled milk on MacBook Air reasonable?
