That is because separating the magnets from the other materials and parts they are embedded in hasn’t been cost-effective—especially when access to low-cost products from China hasn’t been a worry. *

This is exactly what I have been doing since the pandemic. I have two issues that cause me to do this. First there is Netflix with no way to evaluate all their content inside their user interface. You need to browse on another device at NYT, Tomatoes, and other reviews before deciding what to watch. Netflix of the past had APIs that let 3rd parties access the titles which gave Fanatics the opportunity to comment, review, blog, etc… Netflix killed that, and they have failed to create an internal community area where fans can discuss content. So the best is to only watch the 10% of content which they promote, cancel the service, and then come back in 3-6 months.

Second reason I do this is streaming services like Apple, simply do not have enough content to continue paying every month.
