This is a custom small form factor PC with many of its components being user replaceable. The GPU and CPU are soldered, which is unfortunate, but it is still significantly more upgradable and repairable than any other console that has existed. So what the hell are you on about?
Well there seems to be exactly one component that’s upgradable that you don’t have on the other consoles, which is the RAM. And at first sight I think you’ll have to remove the heatsink to get to it.
If you want any ‘usable’ upgradability it’s better to compare to modern minipc’s where you can easily replace the RAM and WiFi, have multiple SSD slots and even have the option to connect an external GPU.

Consoles are garbage, bringing a PC close to these is rowing in the wrong direction. Their presentation doesn’t say much about components being replaceable and hint at fix storage. GPU is one of the most important pieces in a machine that is supposed to be dedicated to videogames
You are on lemmy, a decentralized and open source platform that doesn’t share peanuts with steam or for profit companies like valve, i may be dump but i encourage you to learn more about open source software/hardware and decentralized platforms.
