Why is it that over the last 30 years, vehicles have gotten much more reliable, while appliances have gotten much less reliable? /u/gvsteve No such thing as stupid questions

It used to be that a car with 100k miles was considered a ripe old thing living on borrowed time, but a dishwasher or refrigerator would frequently last 10+ years to decades?

And nowadays, a car with 200k miles is nowhere near dead, (maybe even 300k), but dishwashers, refrigerators, and clothes washer/dryers barely make it to 5 years old before critical components fail?
