A consumer that doesn't want something to both last and be repairable is misguided, pretending both can't be achieved serves the one selling garbage
Price is another important variable.
In any case, I'm not an expert in cars or what people need from their car. I would assume that the people who buy cars know what they want.
You're absolutely right though, price would be the difference.
That's actually the crux of my ire. To sell more... things are made more cheaply.
I know all too well how much money it costs to be poor. Now that I have means, I'd rather buy one good version than many not good ones.
The thing is, the good options are disappearing because incentives suck. People are happy to buy disposable garbage, they enjoy consuming. I don't.
Different people have different preferences.
There's still lots of high-quality expensive options available in many product categories.
