Products can break, people are born and grow up an eventually need to buy that kind of thing. Some of it can break or wear out even if most of it last decades.

The problem is expecting never ending exponential growth because of the pressures of capitalism instead of finding a stable level of production and making that profitable. Especially with buy it for life products.
