You have been given correct information by several professionals on this forum, why are you arguing? Start components are not bandaids, they are a common part used in many compressor bearing systems.
The incident with cutting the power line most certainly could have caused the initial lock up of the compressor if the line was not cut all at once or if only one leg of the electrical was cut.
No matter the reason, your system has been properly repaired using proper industry parts and standards. There is no reason your system should not give you years of comfort service now that the problem with it has been remedied.
