And, sadly, moving to cheaper, thinner materials with a lesser lifespan. I’ve personally seen it in the appliances I’ve bought where I’ll run an appliance for 15-20 years, but the same model. They will largely look identical but when disassembled, the newer model trades metal part for plastic or the material is thinner.
