A good example is perfectly good wired headphones (which can last 10+ years at least with proper care and maintenance) being swept aside for battery-powered wireless options which are 1) incompatible with older devices and 2) will die after enough battery charge-discharge cycles, forcing you to buy a new one.
I'm generally doing a lot of movement while wearing headphones, whether it's walking, working, or cycling, so I've found wireless headphones have lasted much longer than my old wired ones as well as being more convenient.
Wired headphones do have a bunch of advantages, but so do wireless, and product lifetime isn't a great measurement when it's dependent on use.
edit: A better example would be smartphones, with support for models being dropped within a few years, and them slowly becoming more and more incompatible with new features, regardless of their physical condition.
I've found the opposite, but then I wear giganitc studio headphones with a removable jack cable, so if it breaks i can just shove a new cable in.
