I think it's mainly to do with pushing sales. The advertising companies have been brainwashing us for a hundred years that keeping up with the Joneses is the ultimate hobby.
We are all a little vain, so we are susceptible to having our egos groomed, to be told we are "with it"...the center of the universe.
And, constant change is one way to keep feeding that need to be confirmed.
ARE YOU "IN" ON THE NEXT BIG THING?....that sort of thing.
On a smaller scale, why does the grocery store I've been going to for decades, have to periodically shuffle the arrangement of their merchandise around? Just when I get comfortable knowing where everything is, they move it.
Of course the store is hoping that by being forced to look around, you'll break your old patterns, and discover something new.
In all instances, I think the root is the same....someone has devised a scheme they hope will help separate you from more moola
