I've said a couple of times before on this blog that the ultimate goal of either the tech industry or any given government is to restrict the public's access to computers.
At the time, this was in observation of the depreciation of the desktop (pc tower) and executable programs (spotify.exe, for example) in favor of cell phones, tablets, and apps (the akp files you can't edit or customize).
There's also been the minimizing of the accessibility of desktop websites by designing exclusively for cell phones, and trying to railroad ad blocking extensions on browsers like YouTube/Google has been doing.
PC towers are already stupidly expensive, and only get pricier the more specific the use for them is (artwork, video editing, gaming, etc).
Now, as they're pushing AI onto every platform, the tech industry has simply cut the consumer out of the loop altogether by price gouging memory (RAM) and potentially, Solid State Drives (SSDs) and GPUs. All in favor of the "data center" gambit the US government is trying to push across the States.
