I see what you mean. I suppose the difference is the intent and the effect on the customer.

  • Obsolescence: the device is poorly maintained, or designed to make using it past the desired (for shareholders) support date miserable.
  • Grace: the product is designed to keep functioning past the point where normally it would cease to be of use to the customer.
