Just a shower thought. Obviously depends on the industry, but in terms of electronics I fee enthusiast grade (think gaming motherboards, for example) are better built than professional grade. Thoughts?

That may be true for stuff delivered to the army but I would believe the myth more in my local electronics store.
Also stuff made 15 years ago seems more durable than the stuff from say 5 years ago.
This sounds a lot like survivorship bias. Stuff made 15 years ago that’s still in use today is more durable than stuff from 5 years ago.
There was plenty of junk 15 years ago, too. It’s just all been thrown away by now.
There is surely a survivor bias at work but some things still feel like they were made to last more than the next product cycle.
