IIRC some companies were running campaigns like "we buy your old hardware so you won't sell it in aftermarket and crash the prices". It all ends in landfill.

I wouldn't be surprised if RAM cartel or nvidia will attempt something like that, plus nvidia already talks about license-locking GPUs.

Also, again, IIRC, IBM hardware already works this way. There are almost no aftermarket when I last checked for them because it's all locked up and useless.
