Can't this be seen the other way around? If a computer can last long, it is very useful to repair it / replace broker parts. If technology advances in such a way that new software needs a new computer, then it makes sense to buy a new computer instead of repairing the old one. Unless by serviceability you mean being able to upgrade your computer. Either way, I can see the benefits of trading that ability for a powerful but light/small machine.
