There has been tons of research in this. Of consumer machines capable of being upgraded, only a low single digit percentage of them ever are.

Factor in issues with driver support and updates for arbitrary hardware, the weight premium for upgradability, compromises in chassis rigidity and resilience to add removable panels and it’s just hugely wasteful and compromises quality for the vast majority of owners.

Haha, I dont know about these studies but I was just browsing and randomly saw this. Checking in that I definitely upgrade my machines all the time.

Can you cite any of this research? I'm not doubting your claims, I'm legitimately curious.
