Even though electronics may become obsolete quite quickly, it may not render them useless or harder to use within such timeframe. Unless some software gets no longer supported for their hardware. IIRC some years ago Whatsapp quit providing updates suitable for certain cellphones.

As an aside half of US bought 2011 Nissan leafs have been exported overseas, if you find that disgusting we really need to fix the TCO issue and it’s not the up front price of a used leaf that is the issue
Considering most of the export markets for 2nd-hand cars are third-world places, it does surprise me the early US-spec Nissan Leaf would find its way as a 2nd-hand export.
