Last week I replaced the crappy plastic valve with a good quality brass valve . The plastic valves are extremely difficult to shut off and I can see why the handles break .

Used Kiley & Sons and the cost was $164.78

Well worth doing, IMO

I agree, to have a plumber replace a $.50. handle they’ll probably have to pay a service call which could be 30 to $40. & I’m sure the plastic handle from the plumber will cost 5 to $10. Surely Home Depot, Lowe’s or Ace has a replacement handle. I wouldn’t think you would have to be a rocket scientist to change it.
