Of course they're aware of the problem but by the time the dust takes its toll, they've already got a better, more precisely focused one on the drawing board, the older version virtually obsolete almost before it lands. Newly developed scientific questions and rapid tech development make it more economically acceptable to let the dust collect until the recyclers get there. 🧐
