I have not directly bought a computer in 13 years. I’ve been a programmer for 10. My daughter uses the one I was issued at coding bootcamp in 2013. My home recording studio uses a 2010 mac mini. My wife uses an out-of-warranty one from my work, as do I for my home dev machine. My son uses a really old cheap laptop that was laying around. I installed SSDs and maxed out the RAM on all of them. Maybe people are attracted to the latest shiny thing, or give up early on a computer that would go to scrap without a little TLC.
