Why does desktop hardware become more and more complex and fragile?

I want my BunkerNet with 90s Amiga level machines with technology practical enough to be produced (with reasonable investment) at least in every 1mln city (with literate population and necessary raw resources available).

Yes, I've even started with something above that, running Windows 98SE, games and all.

But just ... how necessary it really is? Just (that is, 1.5 hrs ago, ADHD) returned home from a bicycle ride in a park, it's fun with a normal bicycle, it's fun with a Soviet bicycle which is barely that, it's fun with a foldable bicycle with switchable reductors, it's fun with roller skates, and it's fun on foot.

Can we treat computers the same? They are means to an end. NEW ROUNDED CORNERS AND ADS IN EVERY ORIFICE TO BE ALWAYS CONNECTED TO OUR NEW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is not that end.

EDIT: ok, each 1mln city is asinine ; each 5-10mln people on the planet maybe?
