Yeah, except that you're not getting your money back because almost nothing has a warranty that extends nearly to it's reasonable lifetime, so the manufacturer has no particular interest in stopping you from buying another one.

You get your money back when your return the defective item for a refund.

not when the return is a year after purchase (even shorter for most products these days)

You don't claim the warranty. You buy the new one, put the old broken one in the new one's box, and return that.

I believe this is called fraud, but you do you.

Well, on some ethical level so is what manufacturers are doing. Race to the bottom!

No, a bad deal isn't fraud.
