That's exactly what it is.
For instance I am convinced a Pharmaceutical company prefers to invest and produce a drug that will helps to cure your symptoms but not to completely cure you. Better to sell you a drug or a treatment you have to take daily/weekly for the rest of your life.
Same thing we could say is with fornitures and goods. My dad had a pair of shoes hand made lasting 40 years, they look still new. He just goes every year or two to shoemaker to cure a bit the skin and give them a nice clean.
This is also truth for technology, and we all know the Planned Obsolescence made by big tech companies..
