  OXO?
context: I kind of see your point. But.
  Normalizing things that support disabled people makes it easier and cheaper for disabled people to get ahold of things. Great example of that is OXO.
  Also, planned obsolescence is everywhere nowadays. If you wanted to you could make smart home tech that lasted 40 years and more too, after all the break in the circuit is basically the same. The only difference being that it's activated by a small voltage instead of a mechanical force. I'm pretty certain that if you nowadays just bought a normal light switch, it wouldn't last 40 years either.
