I’m sure you’d be amongst the first to condemn them if they left unsafe equipment in place and people died because it was faulty…

The BG engineer scam is to claim the parts aren't available if the boiler is more than a few years old. They then get commission from BG for giving the lead to a salesman to sell you a new boiler at a vastly inflated price. The parts are of course available if you go to an independent fitter.
Happened to my father-in-law, who had Parkinsons, a few years ago. We were away at the time, they stitched him up good and proper. A company that has a history of preying on the vulnerable.
