Apple's vision of turning computers into toasters is exactly the reason why I switched to a Mac. I'm too old to deal with maintaining a PC. Just give me a box and let me do my work. For most of the objects that I interact with on a daily basis, I don't care how it works or whether I can "hack" or upgrade it. I just care that it works and gets out of my way when I don't need it any more.
The only notable exception that I can think of right now is a car. But as for computers, that's very much an appliance in my eyes, despite being a developer and coding on Linux and Windows all day at work.
