Not always the case.
I have a lot of stuff that is quite old and is still chugging along.
So do I (and come to think of it so am I). ;^)
Want a 386? Got one in my garage.
No thanks - I did run one (under LINUX) up until a few years ago though.
There are still a ton of Chevy's on the road, while many of the
Ferrari's and porches are no longer mobile. They also cost a mint
to keep running.
True, but many of the similar year Japanese cars did not cost more, or
only a little more, and have held up much, much, better.
Price point is not always indicative of quality.
I never said it was, only that quality is worth a nominally higher
price.

Stewart;
The thing is, if I have to constantly step in to keep toy A working
smoothly, and toy B is likely to be still working and in great shape,
such that I can pass it on to the next one who will use it long after
toy A is in the trash, I am buying toy B as it is a much better deal.
This by the way is the approach I took toward actual Toys for my
kids. It was not the quality (expensive) toys that the kids broke,
those were passed down child to child to child to nieces and nephews
(and in some cases initially from nieces and nephews that were
older).
Well made, works well, and lasts trumps a bit cheaper every time for
me. Even better when the well made is actually not significantly
more
expensive at the same level of capability.
