Yep, that's usually what (((planned obsolesce))) refers too. In case of China for instance it's pure garbage, because they suck at manufacturing, take shortcuts and cheat to save shekels on production.
Another good example of (((planned obsolesce))) is mandatory cloud connectivity for something that doesn't need to be connected at all. Yet, at any time the manufacturer can decide, now is end of life for a product you supposedly own. And suddenly it's bricked, even though the hardware is fully functional.
