That's certainly one way to implement it, no doubt.
I have my doubts that unrepairable, failing products are produced by few enough manufacturers that holding a handful of large ones to these rules would make a big dent in waste. But, maybe I'm wrong!
(Also, good luck convincing people to spend 4x on a vacuum because it's "repairable" when the no-name brand is not. Most people will roll the dice and save the money today.)
- plagiarist 3y agoOne of the largest failings of the market is everyone refusing to act in their own long term best interests if there is a short term cost.

People will happily roll the dice on dangerous products if they’re only slightly cheaper. That’s why we have regulations, to stop bad products using price to drive good products out of the market.
