It means the usable life is shorter, so even if it’s fine for a while, you need to think of it as a much more expensive device per useful year.

Sadly, with the current trends I think the device will be more likely rendered by an irreparable hardware failure before it reaches end of life due to speed.

I mean that seems inevitable.

I have a 2014 retina iMac. At some point in the next few years, I’ll probably replace it with an M series iMac, and then put Linux on it. It’s hard to imagine that it will ever really reach end of life due to speed at that point.
