Short -n- sweet.
1. Made in China (to a price-point). Not necessarily 'planned' obsolescence, but poorly made to begin with. Engineers who design things are, in general, pretty proud of their work, and would like to see it last. The actual execution of that design, however, is rarely what the engineer had in mind.
2. Complexity. Simple designs = longevity. Complex designs = more things to go wrong.
