Typical consumer goods practice.
Make it unrepairable and they just have to keep on buying.
I avoid buying if at all possible.

Do you make your own things or rely on theft?
Shoes made of old tyres or the last thing you bought was a kosh?

I often repair other people's cast offs.
The vast majority of goods have become less repairable over time.
Sure, surface mount and integrated electronics are difficult to repair but that is only a part of it.
Companies find it more convenient for consumers to endlessly buy cheaply made expensive tat.
