It won’t be the end. The bubble will burst, likely violently after being pushed far too far and for far too long, and when it does, the manufacturers will need clientele again. We’ll likely see yet another greed-fuelled standardised increase in base prices due components but it won’t be the end of the customisable desktop. At the very least, I absolutely won’t be buying a tablet. No corpo can force me to do that and I know a lot of people in the space will agree.
Context is everything, and in this one she’s living up to the empire standards.
It’s not, he’s just a corposcum-sniffing fanboy.

Uh-huh, sure it isn’t, Cockstar, we believe you
It’s become much worse in recent years and more expensive for the privilege.
I’m referring to how there’s been a trend of “cost of X just increased 15%”. Granted I can’t, and won’t presume to, speak for every individual case but we have access to know enough that these increases often aren’t tied to necessity within a company. When profits are increasing year-over-year but the price still goes up, that’s a decision made by a greedy someone(s) somewhere up in the pecking order.
