Perhaps incentivised is the better word? Improving tolerances and repairability so that products last beyond the common 1-2 year warranty periods costs time and money, and potentially means that customers aren't buying newer versions of those products or paying for first party repairs. I'd imagine that many engineers who actually design/build the products would like to make these things more durable and repairable, but are more often then not told to cut costs to improve margins/work on new feature X or product Y, etc.
