This is nowhere near as bad as when they did the error that made your phone unusable, told you that you can only get a swap if you pay a ton of money, then deleted your data, fixed the old phone, and resold it. But still a stupid design.

4 days is much better than the old "bricking your phone for replacing the home button" thing.

You can use a 3rd party screen on any iPhone below the 11 just fine as long as you swap over the home button or FaceID module. Those are the only two parts that are locked to the motherboard. However, in order to carry over TrueTone settings to the new screen you will need a special tool.

The iPhone 11 series of screens are, so far, locked to the motherboard as well, requiring Apple software to calibrate it. Although, I suspect it will only be a matter of time before 3rd party manufacturers find a way around it.
