Making their product live longer is not usually the top priority for manufacturers. I like the initiative, of course, but I’m sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop.

They make money on blade replacement cartridges. If the base unit lasts longer they still make more money in the long run from consumables. A lot like electric toothbrushes.
