Speaking of unplanned obsolescence: My Samsung TV came with a remote that has a fairly prominent "EXTRA" button that I never used. Until I pressed it one day and it told me that the "EXTRA" service (whatever it was), was terminated a couple of years ago. Well, no big regret there, but I find it ridiculous that buttons on your remote become "obsolete" and perform no function apart from telling you that some service or other (which you never even knew about) is no longer available.
Had the same thing with a roku remote and (I think) some music service that was one of the three non-reprogrammable "shortcut" buttons on it. That remote is pretty minimal (power, d-pad, ok button, and those three buttons) so it sticks out like a sore thumb.
