If we're being really honest, it is for profit margins and planned obsolescence.

- oneplane 7y agoThe electrical and structural design do account for marginal BOM costs but are hardly useful for some evil obsolescence plan. If only because nobody actually 'upgrades' their systems anymore. The mass market hasn't done that for 10+ years. People often claim a ton of things but then actually don't have any background in the industry (either the engineering side or the high level planning side). Apply Hanlon's Razor instead of making everything that doesn't suit your context automatically be some evil plan. Of course a company that stands to make a ton of money with a choice between to options that only marginally affect users will choose the ton of money option. It's just that in this case there is no ton of money.
