That's a really good point. Ignoring supercomputers and workstations that do actual numer crunching, everyone is pretty well off with any by-now-15-year-old computer with a decently large SSD. Issue is most of the time: one broken component, maybe a battery or a missing PSU, and the hassle to even figure out what's wrong.
FWIW, I've just taken my laptop from before 2012 back in service. The PSU (a no-name replacement, because the original one broke) got lost in a carton box. Now I got a teeny-wheeny USB-C to barrel-jack adapter and it's humming with a 65W mobile phone charger. Funny enough in this one the battery still works decently after so many years.

Yeah, that's what #bloatware does. M$ and even Appl€ are pretty good at making bloatware.
