"Enshittification", as Cory Doctorow coined the term, refers specifically to companies transitioning from growth to monetization phase; it was common for a number of online Internet services to have a phase heavily-oriented on growth, because most of their costs were fixed, making it highly-advantageous to be large, and thus worthwhile to lose money for some time growing prior to becoming profitable.
That doesn't mean that things that aren't specifically doing that aren't being "enshittified"--turned into shit--in other ways. Capitalism would see everything eventually turn to shit in order to squeeze out some more profit or more growth. Nothing can grow forever.
Makes absolute sense. Brand new chips rarely showed problems instantly, it took a few months time. The CPUs have been out for a while and only recently these problems surfaced.
So glad I didn't pull the trigger on a laptop last month. I was leaning AMD but some intel offerings looked nicer and cheaper. I guess that's one of the reasons.
