Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade?

Planned obsolescence does exist in mass produced gear like Denon/Pioneer/Yamaha AVR gear.

I disagree with the premise that better quality manufacturers design goals are to lure you in, then some magic switch goes off to produce sound that is intentionally  fatiguing.

But it's a great idea that I'm sure the low-end sales guys would love.

First CD player in our family was a $1300 Hitachi, 1985-ish. ~$3800 in todays money. Lasted over 10 years, then we lost track of it after gifting it to a friend.
