Sidenote: this one of the ideas behind Ida Aukens (controversial, and I would say misunderstood) "You will own nothing and be happy": One way to make companies liable is by making them own and maintain what they produce for the entire product cycle, and you only rent these items.
Of course this needs a very healthy and competitive market with effective regulations to prevent eternal enshittification. And maybe it doesn't work when shareholder value is everything that counts.
