System modularity allows me to be self reliant when it comes to my hardware conking out a day outside the warranty period. I simply will not be beholden to a third party for servicing. I will get the component next day delivered to me, or I will pull something out of my parts bin. I'm grateful for the fact that if my motherboard kicks the bucket I can just unplug my SSD and read it in another computer, my data isn't lost. This rat race of planned obsolescence and software bloat lighting a fire under consumers asses is getting very old. A piece of hardware is obsolete when I decide it is, not the manufacturer.
