Enshittification, also known as crapification and platform decay, is the term used to describe the pattern in which online products and services decline in quality over time. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to users and business customers to maximize profits for shareholders.
Oh course it does, what are you talking about? It applies to any product or service that can have its quality gradually and intentionally reduced in service of having its profit margin increase.
Originally coined it was meant to describe online software that started out useful and frequently free, then run into the ground when it came time to monetize it.

Just because people atarted using it to mean ‘stuff gets shitty’ doesn’t change the original meaning.
Enshittification was coined for online services, which includes roku, but doesn’t apply to all products.
Edit for the contrarians.
Whether it was coined for all products or not, it’s definitely applying to all products
