One aspect is, consumer products in certain price ranges have to be maintained by the manufacturer for a certain amount of time. I haven’t dealt with this in a bunch of years so don’t know if it’s the still the same 7 years that, for instance, I got a tv repaired twice because the manufacturer still made the same spare part. (That one actually went about 9 years, parts still avail, because it was an excellent tv and people kept them.)
