As pointed out elsewhere around these comments, this looks like another classic example of enshittification. Just like everything that's invented, it often starts out with a fairly solid design--it couldn't succeed without that. Once the success is captured, they can start dissecting the design and figure out what parts can be made with cheaper materials (common example: replacing metal w/plastic) and/or cheaper tech. From that point it's iterations of further cuts to material and tech until it's the cheapest, flimsiest version that can still function well enough to outlast the warranty. I've been in my field long enough (appliance repair) to see generations come and go and it often runs that route. Sometimes design flaws get fixed during the process, but rarely does the product itself get better or more durable in the long run.

He'll be blaming it on the retaliatory tariffs.

His tariffs are the best/perfect, it's all these unnecessary tariffs these other countries insist on imposing in response that are to blame 🤹‍♂️

It really would be an opportunity for some next-level trolling
