Of course it's possible, but I don't know where you're trying to go with this.
Set a lifespan the product should be able to operate without maintenance, based on your goals and engineering constraints. Design with the lifespan in mind, perform lifecycle testing. Then release your product, stop working on it and don't offer support.
The feasibility of such depends on what you're trying to build. Customers have different expectations of lifespan, maintenance needs, and manufacture support depending on the product. A garden hoe is not an alarm clock radio, which is not a car, which is not a general purpose operating system.
The status quo of maintenance for any product domain is an inherent limitation to putting out something better. You can't just jump ahead of the competition because you will it so. You need some combination of: building with higher quality components, insight into the problem domain that none of the current commercial solutions have, or simply more productive (ie. more expensive) R&D.
If you're just looking at products that currently require maintenance and are licking your lips at the idea of selling a turn-key solution, join the party. Otherwise roll up your sleeves and make low maintenance a key design goal of your product.
