Nah the main issue is they're designed to be shit, to force you to spend more money.

Firstly there's no reason the loss of say a scanner should result in failure of the printer functionality, that's poor design. Secondly, why are so many of these extra features failing when so many people rarely if ever use them? Sounds very much like planned obsolescence. Printers are a total scam.
