I've noticed phone companies just don't care. Had a Nexus 5 with a faulty internal power button. One day it wouldn't turn on anymore. Was quoted $150 or so for a fix, despite it being a result of shitty parts and not abuse. I just binned it and moved on.

My Nexus 5 fell victim to the underwater camcorder defect roughly a year back. I had to start flashing a community made patch from XDA to keep it going (which also keeps me from using the stock firmware ever again). There were multiple bugs listed on Google's tracker citing the issue, but Google either remained silent, tried to shift the blame to a Qualcomm driver that they supposedly had no control over, or just silently close the thread with a self serving "won't fix" tag. CM 13 incorporates the patch automatically now, so it's gotten better. But still, the hardware on the Android side of things has gotten so bad in recent years.

All of this makes me want an iPhone as my next device solely for the hardware support.
