In the case of physical products, the answer is pretty obvious - products that last = fewer sales. So companies try to find the balance between lifetime and turnaround time to typical replacement/repurchase.
I refused to do that when I did induction and LED lighting. My products are still in use by the people that bought them. I don't expect them to need a replacement for 20 years. Maybe by then I'll be back in the lighting business.
