Frigidaire standalone oven and cooktop: Planned obsolescence – where is corporate conscience?

I am not alone in thinking that the big companies, those that are “too big to fail” are predators.   Not that the makers of Frigidaire are too big to fail, because I am sure if the consumers rose up against companies that quit making parts for perfectly good units just to press consumers into whole item purchases, for the company profit (greed is a better term), they would surely fail.

Why am i forced into being a contributor to landfill, to waste, to consumerism when my own conscience tells me that repair, reuse, recycle is the more “cosmos friendly” way to co-exist with nature.  I don’t understand why we, the people, let big companies dictate our future.  Makes me really irate.  So I must add to landfil 75 pounds of metal and mixed other stuff because Frigidaire no longer makes the clock/timer part for my REGC39  oven and cooktop? Shame on you big corporations.  What a truly sad commentary on corporate conscience.
