Because most people don't build their own computers. I agree with you, they should, but it's not up to us.

Also a lot of people like the form factor. Again I don't care but that's what they want.

I totally understand man, but i'm talking about a prebuilt for $999. https://www.microcenter.com/product/699677/powerspec-g528-gaming-pc

I get the form factor, and I don't think the price is too nuts for that given the overall market for the actual machine. This rando knockoff however that got a ton of free press is just a shitty system overall.
