Again, this is not just true for music gear - EVERY product with any significant digital integration is subject to rapid obsolesence.

The other thing Rhett doesn't mention is that besides lasting until they break, analog devices are repairable, sometimes infinitely so, "Ship of Theseus" style - but if a thing relies on a chip & some firmware to run, it may break beyond repair even if its core function is still working ☠️
