I have no answers to the question posed, other than that capitalism doesn't incentivise "good", it incentivises profit, and with these kind of small electronics those two things are mutually exclusive. The very first thing I thought of when I started reading this article, was this thread [1] about a toaster from decades ago that is better than anything one can buy today. I watched several videos about that toaster that day and it now lives rent free in my head, especially every time I take the burnt or unevenly toasted toast out of my stupidly expensive, but rubbish, Dualit toaster.
