Let's just say that statement is true, ignoring the technical challenges involved in such a thing. 80% or more of their TVs failed just out of warranty.

Would you buy a new Samsung TV to replace it?

No?

Then how long you think they'll be in business with nobody buying a second TV?

Anyone in business knows the way to build sales is to have high reliability, not low. So, barring any credible evidence to the contrary, what you wrote is surely a myth, not worth repeating.
