Due to heat, water damage, rust, mice, misuse, and probably other reasons; appliances tend to break down with time and require service. You want them to be relatively easy to repair by a fairly unspecialized repairman who just figures out that one of a few parts is broken and replaces it and everything starts working again.
Wouldn't appliances with more complicated UIs that are driven by more powerful computers end up being less durable and be harder to repair? Does that factor into it?
