Because it is multi-factoral:
1. They don't have enough trained personnel to maintain and repair their vehicles.
2. They don't have a culture of maintenance and training, or the necessary infrastructure.
3. They don't have enough spare parts to fix the vehicles that need fixing.
4. They don't have enough vehicles to supply the forces they have already deployed.
5. Systematic dishonesty and corruption is not suited to fixing logistics problems which require honesty and teamwork.
6. They are suffering high casualties on their supply routes due to ambush.
7. Any concentration of vehicles (e.g. a repair yard or supply depot) is just going to get wiped out by drone directed artillery, and they cannot keep the drones away.

Does it matter if they are willing to deploy hypersonic missiles and such?

The only logistics that matter now are how many artillery shells they can get to the front line, and whether their supply of the same will last longer than Ukraine’s resolve.

Zelensky doing a pretty good job on balling Putin back on his attempt to break Ukrainian resolve, so far.

You cannot take and hold ground with a hypersonic missile. You need armour and bodies.
They are likely cannibalising every available vehicle for parts, having realised that their quartermasters have systematically nicked everything, and all their inventory of spares is a ghost.
I am wondering why they haven't deployed their newest tank, the Armata. Wondering if it is a sheep in wolf's clothing.

The Armata is still undergoing trials with Army experimental units and there are only a few of them, like 20-30. They are supposed to enter regular production this year.

Just in time for the kamikaze drones then!
