I think it's like the Maytag repairman syndrome. Make something to last and folks won't need anything for so long you go bankrupt.
Take my 944, it's thirty years old, everything works on it. A little DIY with upkeep and I'm happy. I've only had it a year now but in my head its a lost car sale to every new car on the market. Best 3K I ever spent. It also robs every mechanic that might have had my business if I got something I couldn't DIY.
My phone is a GZone Commando, I needed a tough smart phone that fit in my pocket. I liked it so much I bought another off Amazon for cheap and put it in my safe for the future.
All these frugal things I've done have cost somebody business and money. In order to stay in business you have to build stuff to only last a few years and you need bigger and better to keep the bills paid. Sad but true.-WW
