Only that it's not "our inclination". It's how the system is set up, and it actively fights attempts to break out of it, which means we're actually inclined to consume more durable things - we're not stupid - but they're clearing us for carpet bombing when we try.

We all know they're making phones unusable after three years, and they do so by software updates. This is so open that the French have banned it.

An open case of this is the right to repair, where companies use copyright and patent claims, "security" claims and outright refusal to have you legally own the gadgets you "buy" to restrict your right to do anything with it outside of that which serves the company. And repairing it, modifying it, jailbreaking it etc are not things, of course, that serve the company bottom line - so you're literally a criminal trying to do any of these things, on devices you "bought" (but turns out you didn't).

A great short story of science fiction (not all that fictional) is "unauthorized bread" (full text: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/01/unauthorized-bread-a-near-future-tale-of-refugees-and-sinister-iot-appliances/). It relies on laws that are already in effect today to tell the story of a "criminal" who repairs toasters to make them accept "non-authorized" bread brands. It's the printer business model.

Add this to the common practice of creating demand by slight changes (again, the iPhone disease) and by social pressure (another symptom of iPhone disease: what, you don't have the iPhone 2030imega yet? I have no clue what iPhone numbers are.)

There is no "inclination" to overconsume. There is relentless pressure, and then there is the inclination, quite on the opposite, to resist that. This is clearly visible by the fact that the industry is fighting this inclination tooth and nail.
