Now you got it! It even has a name: planned obsolescence.

This was the problem with British cars. Every car was a Friday
afternoon car.

I just fixed the wife's 31 yr old Kitchenaid dishwasher (motor bearing
and seal kit). You can't buy 'em as good anymore.
Hobart made a fine machine.

Nah! The cars were cool!

Blame it on Lucas, the Prince of Darkness.

I don't believe that 'Friday engine' stuff.
However, those little bitty two stroke engines can be as fickle as a
fickle woman.

Four stroke gas engine weed trimmers are available most everywhere
nowadays.How come they don't make some four stroke gas engine chainsaws?

You hold a chainsaw, and the advantage of a two stroke is it's light
weight for the power output. Against however is it's inability to meet
emissions regulations.
