Even deeper - go have a look at the huge catalog of basic parts of jlcpcb. There is no procurement process and delay needed, those seem to be already on the shop floor or maybe even on a feeder of a pick and place machine!

The integration of lcsc is incredible.. let's see how they beat this in practice

Not being familiar with this, I'm curious where the humans are still required in the process of doing a dozen or hundred of each board. I assume the parts still arrive from distributors on rolls inside boxes or on pallets and a human has to scan, open, unpack and load them in some feeder?

We have hundreds of thousands of parts in stock ready to go on The Grid. It's actually way more integrated than JLC.
