The devices to splice fiber have become cheap and very easy. You can watch videos of fiber splicing with such devices and will be proficient with them in roughly ten minutes. It really has become this mundane.
Even the bigger formats are simply being spliced one fibre after the other which in the core is a very easy process with modern devices.
Adding an extension and matching fibres on both ends of the track is a process that requires a bit of logic, true - but the splicing itself is learned in ten minutes, and that is my point.

Amazing how technology has improved, then!
Yep basically a little handheld glass melting furnace.
Good luck repairing a ripped out 864F ribbon cable with 10 minutes of YouTube tuition.
