With benefits (cheap, functional, easy to buy and get fixed anywhere) of big centralized production come, as people not warned of this by common wisdom can now see, some inconveniences.
I think it's normal.
Maybe in 20 years or so when everybody gets conscious and afraid of such dynamics, most things will be dumb, inefficient, expensive, but also more predictable and relevant for longer.
When I was a kid, it seemed cool to me that you can buy cheap things made in China from plastic. I thought the future is that everything will be cheap and easy to get, even if bad and made from plastic - the most important thing is, it's there.
Now the feeling is the opposite, well, I change (20 years older and no better), humanity also changes.
