Ever increasingly cheap and plentiful clones made computers finally cheap enough for anyone to own?
Phones are already way beyond that point.

Why would I ever want to deal with that?
No one wants to deal with that. Just works is way better than endless tweaking.

Phones could less 10 years with ad hoc upgrades instead of 2. I'd love to have been able to take my galaxy nexus (best phone ever) and add more ram and a faster processor.
