Saw an interesting video on sealed tubs being used in front load washers. I personally have never been a fan of sealed tubs as it reduces the ability to replace critical components. I wouldn't call it a scam though, i've always been under the impression that manufactures do this simply because many consumers don't opt to spend the money it would cost to replace bearings, spiders etc, however I still think offering a tub which can be split and have replaceable components is the obvious ideal choice.
Whirlpool began doing this 15-ish years back I believe, in the last 5-6 years LG followed and GE, Electrolux, Samsung have continued providing the ability to replace spiders and bearings.
