Very true for high-end major appliances.
Small appliances, basic model major appliances, window air conditioners, etc. not as much - and getting less all the time.
Again, while we may not see eye to eye on all the causes, the fact that manufacturers have to cut costs to the meet the market's price point in order to stay in business is still just as valid either way.
