The Pi is just an example, $250 Laptops today have performance that cost $700 a few years ago

And the "extras" you mention also get cheaper due to economies of scale. 4k 30hz monitors used to run just under $1000. Now 4k 60hz monitors run just over $200.

At the end of the day you cannot compete with how much better we get at making things over time right now.

Broken hardware is only a leading cause of replacing smartphones, and even the most repair unfriendly device can generally be fixed in 30 minutes at your local mall.

The cost for many of those parts and if they're glued will give you problems with reassembly.
