I was trying to think of all the sacrificial things. Sacrificial anodes on ships, yes.
But... how about the face of a wooden mallet? Because the reason it's wood is because
steel would be too hard. Because the wood is softer it's more likely to get damaged.
Stretching a point? A wooden gramophone needle, which wears out quickly but doesn't
damage the shellac? Can anyone think of sacrificial things?

Nearly all consumer goods apart from consumable, to include software
which incorporate built in obsolescence so as to persuade consumers
to purchase new improved or redesigned models or versions every few years
thus allowing manufacturers to stay in business servicing a saturated
market.
