It’s bad enough for the pc world, where it’s really damaging is vehicles.
E.g.,
1) you have the earliest model year vehicle with a back up camera.
2) relatively recently, backup cameras were regulated as mandatory. if your car doesn’t have one, it doesn’t have to add one, but if it already does, it must work at a time of inspection.
3) So if your cameras busted and no one can fix it, you will not be able to register/tag to drive that car if:
a) you move to a different state
b) your state has an mandatory annual inspection.
So you will be forced to toss a perfectly good car (sans camera) for no good reason.
If you depend on that car for transportation, you’ll have to buy another.
You can buy a plug in rear view camera to replace it.
unless it states the original genuine camera must be functional, a generic bolt over the license plate one will solve that issue.
