Actually it is perfectly good business because the iPods were engineered to last only so long as the warranty. The designers accurately predicted the lifetime of the device for normal everyday use. If one made a product without a target death date, than what would be the point of making new things? This is what stimulates the market to buy newer, shinier, and crappier things that will again break right after the warranty is up.
If you don't like it, find a product with a longer warranty.
