Within capitalism, products are made to maximise exchange value rather than use value. This is because it is more profitable to optimise for products to be exchanged rather than used. In fact, it can be detrimental to maximise use value, because a product that can be used for longer will mean that fewer people will have motivation to purchase another one any time soon. I like the idea of overthrowing capitalism itself to resolve this.
