It's not at all unanswerable. Some people include an item's appearance in its suitability. That's a clear answer.

I have been arguing people who do that are not forced to buy a replacement item because the new one looks different.

This means that they, not the manufacturer, bear responsibility for the obsolescence.

Manufacturers certainly take advantage of this, which is depressing, but are they causing it to happen?
