The science/education podcast Let's Learn Everything had an episode recently about planned obsolescence [1], and it does seem to have started with the bicycle. So this is not new.

I've just noticed that the timestamps on the page are clearly from a different episode. The planned obsolescence section actually starts at 57:42.
