It’s a compromise. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. If we are to make life easier in some respect, we suffer in another. Over time we might find solutions which will only yield alternative compromises.

Weights are bad ergonomically. Dumbbells are often heavy to carry. Barbells are very heavy.

Tower PCs are not like Dumbbells. Dumbbells are designed for working out certain muscles for a short period of time. Tower PCs are awkward to carry, and are often really heavy. I could see how carrying a Tower PC up stairs or long distances could injure someone. People do carry their Tower PC to LANs, or to a friends out etc. Someone could add wheels, and mount a handle to the shell of the case to move it around easier. Or just disassemble, and reassemble the PC.

Well, that’s why we have portable computers. This is like saying buses are bad for your physical health, because being ran over hurts you. Who even carries tower computers?

Yes this seems like it's there to pad out the list a bit.

Mini fridges - also bad for your health.
