Keeping servers alive costs money, so it's hard to tell. When every vendor and their brother sells cheap ESP8266-based switches, it's probably hard to make a profit.
or you keep your quality so high they are all looked down on as throwaway and your product is revered. I bought my western digital drives from the manufacturer and made sure they were top quality to they'd last, I wasn't buying some blue green black etc I bought datacenter storage drives that are designed for years of continuous use.
