Partly that, but also there's the basic economics. Take rlectric kettles. Some will buy a made in England Duslit for £150. Last a lifetime, completely repairable. Most will spend far less every five years on something that, by design, is cheaper to replace than repair. The disposable culture, brought to you by The 20th Century Boys From Marketing. Most stuff these days, even if repairable, voids the warranty as soon as you pop the hood.
