I know this is long so summary: The market is down 90%. All these companies don’t think it’s coming back. They think there’s a strategy in play here to deliberately kill the personal computing market to end ownership and force rentership.

Hell, most enterprise computers are under some kind of rent or lease scheme already. When I had an office job they would replace my ThinkPad every 2 years or so because the company didn’t own them, they just paid a fee for a machine x or y years old.
It makes very little sense financially to have money parked in computers unless it’s absolutely mission critical, when you can just write the rental cost off much more easily
