No it shouldn’t. Why would repair spoil things that I can craft? Remember that you can repair “by hand” just some of your gear which you can craft. If you play alone you don’t notice this difference but if you play with your friends then one of you could learn armor recipes and another has recipes for weapons (and some of your gear is looted from your enemies). So you have to use repair kits and spoil some of your gear, but you can repair the rest without compromising durability - it’s fair.
