Exactly.But then you get a brand new car.
Right. With none of the time-worn comfort you’ve perfected in the old one. With none of the personal customization you’ve put into the old one.
The word “customization” sounds like “chaos” to Mac users.
And with the price tag of an entire car as opposed to an air filter.
Let’s continue with the car analogy. Most earlier cars were way more customizable and extensible than the modern cars of today. But, those cars broke all the time. Having an integrated system allows you to make the whole package last longer, not just all the individual parts. A car from 2016 is way more reliable than one from 1976. Less customizable, yes, but more reliable.
