I've never used a fridge that has an ice maker or water filtration. They are still premium options, or some people just don't have any use for the features.

Except in this case its true. They have over stuffed modern appliances with useless features that shorten the life of the appliance. As to how they didn't comes with ice makers. Of course they did. Most had a place where it could be added if you didn't buy one with that feature. Water filtration wasn't there true enough but no one thought of that then. Only older early 70's fridges came without defrosting. As to the poor seals you get that from damage which applies to modern fridges as well. The fridge I have is from the early 90's and it rocks. No problems with ice buildup No leaks and a consistent temperature. I dread having to buy some modern POS built to fail so you can get sold another one. Not everything is a republican plot to get you to purchase a forty year appliance.

I mean you ain't wrong or nothing, but I'm pretty sure they're mostly focusing on enshitification. I'm 40 and the only memory I have of an old appliance that stands out was the time I took soaked clothes and put them in the dryer and ran it. I broke that sum-bitch gud

You forgot about the locking doors so children had to be taught not to play inside of them if you saw one outside because you would suffocate and die. I remember watching an episode of Punky Brewster on TV about that.
