I am still using a PC I built in 2012, that is over twelve years of daily use. Honestly for 90% of task I do I see no reason to really upgrade it, though I did put a newish GPU in it last year because the old one was failing. I feel like personal computing power somewhat plateaued in the last decade or so which is fine with me really, less upgrades is less waste. I think phones will hopefully reach this point soon though sadly I don't see most of them lasting over a decade.

> I feel like personal computing power somewhat plateaued in the last decade It did in the WinTel world, after the 4th gen i7. Performance stayed flat from 5th gen until 10th or so. It's better after that. Between these later CPUs and and NVMe drives, it feels like computing has picked up a lot. At least until Windows 11 ad/crapware bloats it all away.
