Terry Davis was right...

I think we've mostly done that already. Pretty much everything we use runs in "the cloud" and most things we use locally don't require any compute power. Pretty much all you need is a bit of RAM to run the browser.
Problem is if you want solid build quality and a nice keyboard and trackpad, etc. you can't get that without a PC with a $1000 processor shoehorned into it.
People complaining about ram and GPU prices don't know how to make a budget.
It's just skill issue, not a plan for our technomaniac overlords to take away our technology from our hands
Though this is all motivated by capitalistic expansion, it's also worth noting that liberals have been trying to eliminate the dissent facilitated through online activism and information campaigns for a few years now. Ownership over our PCs means that there can always be an internet operated and monitored by us.

From a different perspective, renting a pc and having a thin client would be a lot better for the environment and cheaper for the consumer.
Sadly I don’t think that’s the goal of these companies
