I don't believe that the software industry is in that position. I just
bout a 24" mountain bike for my son. The seat adjustment just broke.

The only difference between this and software, is that if it was software
I'd have to bug Diamondback instead of Bike Route.

So far I've purchased two pieces of bike hardware this year and both times
I've needed support. Heavens.
