Note that I used the word proficiency
I think we, largely, agree... most people can become proficient with PC hardware (tuning takes more dedication than assembly) but don't want to, for whatever valid reason (their choice). (The exceptions being people, who want to poke their fingers inside but just can't seem to grasp the principles). (I use the term proficient to show that they are/could be (with interest, practice and study) good with the hardware but not necessarily master builders or master technicians, more of a journeyman level of competence, so to speak).

When I hear people complain about cost I tend to assume that they should be willing to do something about it; becoming self reliant is one way to control cost (but not very popular because it involves effort).

You need to upgrade the PC to maintain the fidelity
True but fidelity maintenance or enhancement is not everyone's goal... some folks just want to play a game and as long as it doesn't look/perform too badly they are largely satisfied.

Different strokes for different folks... I guess!
Enjoy!
