I don't think this is something particular to Warsaw bloc countries. For example I love GM new look buses that were running around refurbished up until early 2000s, and the main reason they were replaced not because last of them broke down but because they weren't accessible. I bet it's the same situation with Tatra streetcars. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gm+new+look+bus&t=ffab&atb=v112-4&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gm+new+look+bus&t=ffab&atb=v112-4&...
