That’s just an entirely separate matter. Definitely truth to planned obsolescence in some cases and lower quality materials used in many products.
But I have heard many people say technology in general has stagnated. Consumer tech keeps getting more powerful largely without major perceivable changes, and looking at developments in key fields is where we can most notably see developments.
Yeah, I know it’s an entirely separate matter than the one you’re talking about. But I think OP was talking about build quality, and not tech stagnating, haha
It’s not about tech stagnating, but about it not lasting. They say “they don’t make it like they used to” for a reason.

Oh wow you are totally right… I must’ve misread the question as I was starting to pass out last night.
That’s not the first time I’ve done that…
Haha, it happens!
