I know this is long so summary: The market is down 90%. All these companies don't think it's coming back. They think there's a strategy in play here to deliberately kill the personal computing market to end ownership and force rentership.

Yeah it's an economic pushing out of the market for personal computing, which will relegate it to an enthusiast hobbiest tinkerer space. This honestly might be kinda good for techies because the people building PCs are going to revert back to something like the 80s and early 90s where it forced people to learn technology just to engage with the hobby, spaces for people doing this will become a lot more specialised.

The price isn't going to be fun though.
