"fine with using it as-is" and "would buy some upgrade parts if they were available" are not necessarily exclusive. I've known plenty of people for whom upgradeable laptops make no sense- by the time newer parts come out, their poor devices have been accidentally thrown down the stairs multiple times and are only being held together by hopes and dreams. For others who are a little gentler on their devices, if upgrade parts were not absurdly expensive, and if other aspects of the "core" interaction experience were still modern-ish- basically if we haven't moved to 8K OLED screens etc- then why not just update what you've got?
