David Harvey's Anticapitalist Chronicles has an episode that touches on this, I believe it's related to the tendency of the rate of profit to fall. I think the episode title is something like "Rate versus Mass" and its at least a year old. I won't be able to reproduce the logic exactly but as the rate of profit falls capitalists are forced to produce things that last less and less, or for which the consumption time is continually being reduced
Treating artistic media in particular as disposable is alien to me, especially digital stuff that takes no space or energy to store. It's all unique and even recreations lose "something" in the transition.

It's the most artificial of artificial scarcities and I hate it so much
