Just a shower thought. Obviously depends on the industry, but in terms of electronics I fee enthusiast grade (think gaming motherboards, for example) are better built than professional grade. Thoughts?

    Also stuff made 15 years ago seems more durable than the stuff from say 5 years ago.

    This sounds a lot like survivorship bias. Stuff made 15 years ago that’s still in use today is more durable than stuff from 5 years ago.

    There was plenty of junk 15 years ago, too. It’s just all been thrown away by now.
