There is very strong incentive for anyone that manufactures and sells anything at scale to do it as cheaply as possible. There is a lot of money to be made in parts replacement services, as well. Capitalism sort of guarantees this result after a certain amount of time. Even Miele has cut plenty of corners. Open one of their appliances from 20 years ago, and open another from today, and tell me I'm wrong.
