I think there are a lot of things one can do that can have the side effect
of pushing the boundaries of hardware (this includes things like
compression). Not to mention things like SSD where you are explicitly
trading lifetime for performance. Searching for reasons to believe it's
just to drive obsolescence isn't particularly fruitful, unless you consider
paranoia an end in itself.
