I like this theory a lot. Because when you think of it, nowadays products are either more reliable or more disposable. No need to fix a $7 remote control car or $18 quadcopter. Computer parts like memory and HDs can are warrantied 1-5 years and you ship to manufacturer. And by the time something breaks past warranty you've had for a while, you're looking for the next best one that's cheaper anyway. But nothing stopped radio shack from buying some big land and testing out some super stores to copy Microcenter, Frys, Best buy, home stores or even their own maker spaces with unique offerings.
