There were rumblings from a fruit related technology company that ECC may in fact be required in future memory hardware because the risk of error becomes too high without it. This makes total sense to me, I am frankly surprised that ECC is still considered a weird premium upsell considered worthy only for servers and server farms. Shouldn't every computer be reliable?

It's a "premium upsell" for the same reason why we still have 1366x768 screens on laptops: PC manufacturers don't give a shit and they'd rather save $1 per unit. As to Apple, I'm not sure why they don't support ECC in anything other than MacPro. IMO they should.
