I've no idea why they do this, and truth be told I've noticed over many years that anything 'new and improved' invariably fails to live up to that statement, and is often of poorer quality . . . . with the oh so obvious and obligatory price increase that accompanies it.
Usually these changes hardware wise come from things being made more cheaply. A good example is our old tumble dryer, which packed in after 25 years service. We managed to get a modern equivalent model from the same company, but looking at the build quality & components used now we will be lucky if it keeps going for half the time the old one did.
