The difference is almost ALL appliances built today are designed to die around the time the warranty expires. And, yes, I realize that’s been a trope for a long time, but now it’s far more true than it used to be. It used to be a joke, because it happened rarely, now it’s not a joke because it happens often.

Twenty years from now, there won’t be any appliances built today, still running.

This isn’t survivorship bias. The internet taught us that term specifically to excuse enshittification.
