I think the underrated aspect of the downfall is just how much tech was for the lack of a better word commoditized. I used to be the target audience, but even I don't really care that much anymore about all the details -- my last PC was built over 10 years ago, and when my laptop dies I will again buy a laptop that is the best combination of performance and hassle free. And the new generation that still cared never peeked beyond YouTube, which is definitely true.

It's actually crazy how fast new media became old media.
