I think specific devices will have more likely positive outcome over time as chips don't become more performant = the design wont be obsolete and still sell many years later. Modular devices (laptops are a mix of many modems, displays, sound, disk etc.) have had more edge case bugs because the volume is too low per generation to warrant fixes.
