Okay but my parents never maintained much and it all lasted a very long time. I think the point still stands. Things nowadays require much more maintenance. Of course maintaining them will make them last longer
I bet their generation did more than you think. People’s willingness to do maintenance themselves as well as ability to DIY has plummeted over the past few decades. The funny part is YouTube shows detailed instructions on how to do it all, even how to become a handyman, and yet we are more reliant on contractors, technicians, and mechanics than ever before.
