No shit. My work computer has been a nearly 10 year project of incremental upgrades as I could find deals on things. It's got 4x the ram it started with and the graphics card has been upgraded like 4 times. Other things as well.
I don't want to buy a computer that I can't do anything to. Horrible idea. And I barely know anything about computer hardware. I'd imagine an enthusiast really hates the idea of soldering shit permanently like a smartphone.
I just recently upgraded from a Xeon 5650 CPU and board to a Ryzen 5800x. Used the Xeon for about 10 years. Still solid board, but was starting to show it's age on modern games. I know every part in my computer, and am VERY picky about what goes in there. As a result? The only parts in my house that I've had issues with are hard drives, and those are fincky at the best of times.
