I know you're joking but since we're nerding... - planned obsolescence has no real economic meaning in a world (Star Trek's) where abundance is materially realized — symbolized by the synthetizer technology and omniscient computer (free info / education / content). Everything gets recycled and obsolescence is de facto moot because they can produce orders of magnitude more than they can ever consume (a holistic premise of the fictional universe that is broken numerous times in the short stories of the show, but hey, it's cool it's TV). You could actually say that in Star Trek, obsolescence is more than planned, it's actually how you deal with anything generic or commodities: you recycle it, and would just rebuild it when needed (unless it's inconvenient and you'd spare some space to store the assembled object, but that's paying a high cost, space isn't infinite unlike synthetizers' production, mastery of matter and energy). Yup, inventory and logistics truly are the heart of civilization. Note that 4D-space is cool in sci-fi but alas... - subscription-based: weeeeell, there's no cost associated with living in Star Trek, is there? Everything is just provided by said abundance-tech, nobody pays to eat or clothe or have a roof. So subscriptions, well, there's no point; Netflix would just be free, people there would just do it for the sake of making this cool thing. As everything else is done in the Federation. That's the core of the real utopia of Star Trek IMHO. Dilithium crystals look very real compared to all of the above, don't they? haha.
