That's so cool. Yeah I've been thinking a great design strategy would be to build exclusively out of commonly accessible parts. Like, even repurpouse car parts if they're more accessible, or use arduinos as the microcontrollers.

Love the concept but doesn’t seem to have many plans.

I think this is the way you have to do it. Open hardware designs. If you make a product that's so reliable that it never breaks, it's a product where you never get repeat business. If it's a super simple thing that doesn't need or get new features, you can never sell someone an upgrade. That's great for the consumer, but not great for the appliance maker. So, there's always an incentive for them to enshittify.
