Haha you're not wrong! It's another potentially incompatible part, especially now as PCIE generations change. People will upgrade their GPU and suddenly won't have any video output because it's a gen. 4 motherboard talking to a gen. 4 GPU over a gen. 3 riser cable.
That said, you really only run into that kind of stuff when you're entering hobbyist mode. If what someone wants is a compact gaming PC, there are cases like the CoolerMaster NR200 (https://i.redd.it/fq9y7mevznb71.jpg https://i.redd.it/fq9y7mevznb71.jpg) which are affordable and just as easy to build in as any mid-tower. The only difference is you'll be using a mini ITX motherboard, and an SFX power supply.
