Yeah ok having both makes sense as it allows easier controls for the passenger to use or while being stopped

Movies. You used to be able to just buy them and own the data.
Now you have to pray the other party doesn't 'alter the deal' and if you are proactive about safekeeping the stuff you own you're a 'thief'.
Alternatively, everything is now digital which makes it super easy to pirate and keep forever in a universal format. The main exception is music since spotify and the like make everything so easy that most people don't bother to upload albums.
Going with MacBooks. Used to be you could upgrade RAM and other components. Now, you have to get a new machine.
To be fair, MACs are fast (sometimes too fast), and efficient; the perks of having RAM soldered millimeters away from CPU.
But they went and shat the bed, locking the SSDs to the machine and charging $200 for an upgrade. Stupidly absurd corporate BS
Depending on your definition of 'better' . In terms of repair ability and ease of maintenance, pretty much all old tech. In terms of price... There is no chance, it's insane how cheap tech has gotten.
The power consumption of old stuff is also extremely bad compared to now. So yeh you can have fridges, washing machines, or whatever appliances from the 70's that still work and are easy to maintain.. They use way, way, way too much power for what they do. In an ideal world where energy is free, sure that stuff is better. We don't tho.
Also, basically everything that uses software while it shouldn't, has a worse user experience than before.
Even fridges, washing machines, and whatever else from the '00s was better than now. It's really been the last 15ish years that literally everything has been "Big Mac-ified" to the disposable products that we now have to deal with.
Engineers of the past had very limited design knowledge, so generally subscribed to the "I don't know how to do this. Oh well, more good, morer bettererer."
My grand parents had a fridge in their basement from the 50s until they died 2010. That thing was built like a tank
