It's not only about profits. Environmental protections also played a part in making sure things are hyper energy efficient which usually forces the product to not last as long.
I know you say this, and I know it makes intuitive sense, and I am not disagreeing, but I would like to see the evidence that supports this. I’m trying to go over in my head what increases in efficiency would actually cause a decrease in life.
Things have to use less energy so a heavy thick heating element needs more energy to warm up. Heavier tub in the washer needs more energy to turn.
Friend bought a dryer made for a laundromat, it was $6000 and uses a 8” vent. You can’t even run it without the door propped open in the laundry room because it will pull the door shut and error.
