There are a number of reasons for that, and none is a conspiracy. Plastic degradation due to heat/cold-cycle and light, wear and tear on straps an buckles and advancements in safety tech are a few.

I know that’s the explanation (specifically plastic degradation), but when you see the diversity of quality of these car seats, you’ll know that a high quality five year old expired car seat can be WAY safer than a brand new one.

There's always an explanation, when it comes to why you should part with your money.
I find that an attitude of extreme skepticism when it comes to people trying to sell me crap is very useful.
Another one is cribs. You're not supposed to sell your old crib either, unless it meets the latest safety standards.
