First of all it’s survivorship bias and almost always the quality has degraded a lot in the past decades (greed and consumers that don’t want to pay the price for reliable appliances).
That really sounds absurd. Both the idea itself and the fact that they somehow screwed up the execution of such a simple thing that much.
