I’m gonna offer some contrary evidence: I have a Samsung from 2013 that’s still working perfectly. It did have an issue with the icemaker seizing up, but they have a program where they send a tech out to repair it for free, which I took advantage of. The newer appliances can last a long time in some cases.

There’s also many old fridges that did die, including multiple of mine growing up in the 80s. You just see the ones that happened to survive.
