There's no hiding the need for companies to condition consumers to understand that purchasing a top-shelf item is not supposed to be about investing in long-lasting quality any more. That's so 20th century.
To consume as directed you need to enjoy the most luxurious product you can get for your top-dollar, if you can afford it, with confidence that the features are at least on par with the modern bargain alternatives.

Don't worry, they really are intended to last as long as the cheapest crummiest models on the average.
