Ever noticed you cant buy a quality steel hills hoist any more?? they are all tacky and plastic. Allegedly Hills noticed that suddenly no one was buy hills hoists anymore, because everyone had one and they lasted for ever. By being exceptionally good at building them they backed themselves out of the market.
Engineered Obsolecence is the art of engineering something to break down just after the warranty period. It is now common practice (Hyundai are masters!).
