Caught myself missing the old days of fixing washers with a screwdriver and some luck

I was working on a 10 year old Samsung washer the other day and it hit me how much simpler things used to be. Back in 2010, I could diagnose a bad lid switch on a Whirlpool in like 2 minutes with a multimeter and a basic diagram. Now I'm pulling up YouTube videos for some obscure error code flashing on a digital panel. Maybe it's just me getting older, but I swear the older machines were built to be fixed, not just replaced. Anyone else feel like newer appliances are designed to make us work twice as hard for a simple repair?

Got a buddy whose new fridge died and the repair guy said just buy a new one.

The repair guy said that? Wow, that's insane.
