Are electronics designed to fail by the manufacturer?

How come the navigation system on my 2000 BMW still works flawlessly but something as stupidly simple as a Keurig machine dies after like 1.5 years? Some of these manufacturers seriously have to be designing their products to fail within a certain time frame in order to increase sales. Is there any other known stuff like this going on besides the recent Iphone nerfing controversy?

Edit: There's a term coined for this called "Planned obsolescence", Apparently it is a thing.
