I was told by an appliance salesperson that people staying at home during Covid realy affected appliance sales. Home appliances weren't designed to be used as much as they were during covid so a lot of appliances got worn out. So the lifespan of said appliances was shortened because a stove or fridge was being used a lot more then normal.
