BS - false premise. “Everything” is not poorly made, thanks to automation and improved materials and processes, the quality of most products is excellent and continually improving. Right to repair - yes, but within reason. The right to repair a device built with 2010 SMT devices and .01” lead spacing isn’t going to make it possible for the average user to fix his phone. (Which, by the way, does the job of a dozen previous poorly made devices). Iphones don’t fail because the software got scrambled, they fail because some dumbass sat on it and broke the screen.
My 2021 F150 is way better functionally than a 1990 F150.
They also fail because Apple intentionally sabotages the battery life monitor in older phones when the OS is upgraded past a certain point.
And automakers are infamous for planned obsolescence, from using plastic components in high wear and temperature cycle areas to flat out inadequate designs and catastrophic paint failure. However, they shot themselves in the foot so often with mass failures under warranty and recalls that cars have vastly improved in terms of reliability.
