Being a little more optomistic, I have to say that I find many more things that do still work as they were designed than don't.
I do have some sympathy with the future classic car owner though who attempts to get their latest find, which they realise has intermittant sensor / control issues, up to top running. I have come across people with current models whose main dealers have had serious problems getting to the root of a problem. These days even finding a particular transistor on surface mount is difficult enough let alone replacing it without causing more damage. Can you see the future in which enthusiasts use robotic repair tools?
As for consumer electronics I'm not sure vintage even means the same thing. Still that was maybe always the case
