Cars have started becoming harder and harder for home mechanics to repair already from early 2000s, and that’s definitely not a good thing whether you like or dislike cars in general. Making things harder to repair doesn’t reduce them, just increases waste
Early 2000s? Try mid 70s. That’s when all the electronically controlled stuff and emissions sensors came in. Pre-emissions cars are dead simple to make work.
Now do cars.

I would argue there’s a difference between necessary complexity and planned obsolescence.
