Sad news, but I don't believe they are worried about that. It's good for their profit that hardware gets more and more commoditized and irreplaceable, just like phones. if it breaks, you buy a new all-in-one device which you can as each year passes customize LESS, and that's it. I'm actually starting to worry about opensource approaches since the Year of the Linux Desktop (TM) is getting farther and farther. Today I gave a go at XUbuntu 21.04 without a VM (which is how i have been consuming my linux fix recently) and it was okay, but even basic things like suspend didn't work and simply crashed the X window manager or other non-poweruser-ready shit. It's getting more and more complicated.. sometimes i wonder if it's NOT and it's just me getting grumpier. But it really seems that consumer devices are getting more bundled and less customizable and tinkerable by the year.
