Something about this gives me the under the skin creepy feel of piles of "locked" resources sitting on peoples desk going to complete waste.
Like when they used to sell mainframes with excess processor capacity then you would pay to unlock the processor that was already there if you need it. If not it was simply manufactured to sit unused in a mainframe its entire life, then be thrown in the trash.
I didn't specifically see anything that said this in the article but there is a TON to digest in there though mdular hardware always has that built to waste vibe. Even if they claim the opposite.
