People today (or maybe just businesses) seem thoroughly uninterested in interoperability or upgradability.

It's a fantastic ideal for nerds who like to repair and upgrade and Frankenstein tech bits into new shapes, but I'm not sure I've ever met a normal person who was interested in adding a feature to an existing widget instead of buying a new widget.

I'm absolutely certain this is because it's less profitable for businesses to offer upgradable or interoperable parts.
