You can still buy things with very long lifetime but they are very expensive, the results of making cheaper things that break earlier is that more people can afford to buy them.

This is of course what most companies want but is also makes a lot of products available to people who couldn't afford them earlier which for many is a good thing.

I think it's a fair trade.
