> automotive, bicycle They're supposed to have recurring maintenance fees. One might do the maintenance themselve, but a significant part of the user base will ask a shop to do it, probably the dealer where they bought it. > furniture, kitchen appliances, other home appliances On the higher end it survives by charging years worth of purchase. Like a 4000 bucks oak dining table. Kitchen appliance also either cost an arm and a leg or won't last for 10 years (including buying replacement for the perishable parts) The lower end is the market IKEA dominates. > television They exactly saw this problem front and center and started pivoting to selling viewing data and pushing ads, getting "smart" > computers That's exactly why companies (the biggest cmputer purchasers) are led to leases instead of purchases, and those renew every 3 years. On the user side cheaper computers are also the mainstream, and people don't expect those to last 10 years. |
