I did not criticize MiniPCs just for it's limited upgrade-ability though. My criticism was that limited upgrade-ability of certain MiniPC makes it a bad "investment" over the years as new hardware comes in since they are essentially laptops without monitors/peripherals. The same cannot be said for Apple devices since they have been known to hold their re-sale value compared to other devices (while being non-upgradable) - i think you will fine an article posted here recently that dives into this.
