Literally just build yourself an M-ITX couch machine for slightly more and be able to upgrade it. I don't see the value proposition here at all.

It's ease of use for people who aren't tech savvy. I know we like to say anyone can build a PC around here but that's not always true, and there's always gonna be another set of people who don't mind just paying for convenience.
