Says who, Big Bike™?
Several square taper BBs with user friendly replaceable cartridge bearings out there.
T.A., White industries, probably more. -
that's not a mechanic's job, that's for an enthusiast.
Yeah, I kinda forget about this when it's day to day shit and time isn't money, have at it and hopefully it doesn't creak after.

Yes!
I bought a very neglected bike and I´m servicing every single bit of it, just to learn and also to not waste. I know that probably the time I´m putting into it it´s ten times the cost of replacing it but I love repairing.
I think I´m actually going to try and clean and regrease the bearings, I´ll get a new set if I can´t and will replace it as the last option.
I'm trying to DIY some extraction tool I shaw in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1xAzt9cmt4
Probably a horrible idea, but want to try!
