Seriously? You're such a hustler that you can't afford maybe 2 hours per month maintaining your house/car/electronics? You can't afford to be self reliant and self sufficient?

People used to write their own Haskell compilers, now they buy stagnant/slow computers as an upgrade.

You have a point, but I don't remember that time when people used to write their own Haskell compilers...

They still do - the rest of us are just lucky that they make them open source so we don't have to write our own :)
