Is the IBM thinkpad possibly proves the point... Across 13 years it looks like there was over 10 different types of UltraBay. Your laptop from 1995 couldn't have an accessory from 2005, and your 2005 laptop can't handle accessories from 1995.

I'm not so sure. There's a difference between a big line of laptops that were transferred to a new company - and designing with a goal of keeping compatability. Eg: https://support.lenovo.com/no/en/solutions/pd024289-thinkpad-battery-43-3-cell-bay-overview https://support.lenovo.com/no/en/solutions/pd024289-thinkpad... Is a lot better than most alternatives - were you probably couldn't swap anything between different models/generations. But yes, sure - thinkpad might just have been least bad in this regard - not great.
