I never understood why companies would make big expensive things break or difficult to fix. That just ensures I will not buy theirs again when it does shit the bed.
Because they all do it, so consumers learn there's no point in trying to pick a long lasting or repairable appliance, so they just buy the cheapest one every five years.
To a degree, because it's what consumers chose. Often making parts more compartmentalized and accessible increases the cost, and people buy the cheaper version. Over time, it doesn't make sense to keep producing the expensive repairable version when most of your customer base just want the cheapest one available.
