Survivorship bias is a heck of a drug.
There's no comparison between an old Maytag washer and dryer and a new/current Maytag washer and dryer. This is a case where survivorship bias does not apply, imo. Appliances were built more durable back in the day. There are plenty of older appliances working just fine today while some stuff under 5 years is already getting scrapped because it's too expensive to fix and/or parts aren't even available. It's total nonsense
The appliances from 30 years ago that fell apart early aren’t here to tell their tale.
A shame because they're still fixable all these years later while the new shit is going obsolete before your very eyes
You really are having a struggle with the concept of survivorship bias aren’t you?
