If we demanded longer lifespans for our computing and gadget devices, we'd be implicitly agreeing to a slower pace of technology advances. I have to upgrade cpus and gpus every 2-4 years not because they're cheaply made and wear out, but because the newer ones are 40-50% more powerful than what I bought a short time ago and that's the hardware new programs will be developed for.
