The "Just buy a new computer" excuse doesn't actually make the tradeoff no longer a tradeoff. The cost is still real, you're just putting a price tag on it (then ignoring the price, along with any alternative tradeoffs).

I think you accidentally responded to the wrong comment, I didn't make any excuses or debate tradeoffs. I said "things have costs".
