    Yeah nah…

    Take fridges for example. Producers added features like automatic defrosting, freezer on the bottom, ice maker, etc. All of those add complexity, and require parts that break down.

    40 years ago a fridge was basically just a pump and a condenser in a box. There’s not a lot of things to break down with that setup, and that’s why they’re still working perfectly fine. You don’t need a whole system to pump cold air from the bottom of the fridge to the top, you just stick the condenser at the top and let physics do the rest.
