Fridges today are disposable?

Why do fridges today cost ~>$1k and last only ~5 years? Most only come with 12mo parts/labor?!? Why cant I choose to start the warranty (around the 4.5 year mark)?

***Avoid Samsung/LG "FL/FLC" linear compressors! what kind of compressor does it have? Some brands use other brands compressors! (LG has fixed their compressor issue? Not all LG products sold today have the better compressor- need to be careful! 5 years typical warranty); any in-door water/ice dispenser is high risk!!!

have ai compare models: which are the top 3 you would purchase and why? avoid "FL/FLC" linear compressors? what kind of compressor does each have? do all 3 of these have exact visual match of the  stainless steel of this fridge LG lmxs28626s /01? what are the size dimensions of the top 3?
